My male ball python Ozzy, about 4-5 feet long, finally did a strike-and-coil!
He is fed two adult frozen/thawed mice, and he usually just drags them into his hide. Not today! he did a strike-and-coil to both, and it was so strong, I almost had a heart attack! I am so proud of him, it's his first time to strike and coil. 
I know, I'm a dork, most snakes DO strike and coil, but this was his first time, and I am very happy and excited about it.

Any reason you're not feeding him small rats? He should easily be able to handle a small rat.

Re: :d
Now I want to see him dragging mice away! Can you video him doing it?
What would he do if you fed him live, I wonder?

If I find my camera, I sure will!
And he's afraid of live, but I think he's getting bigger and badder?

Re: :d
Mine flip/flop between doing it and not. I guess it's how hard I have a hold on the rat or something.
My BRB the other night took a second fuzzy and hit it full open mouthed and got most of the head in on the one strike and just started to gobble it down. Wish I got that on camera.
