My son's snake has now struck and eatten while hanging from his branch twice now. The last time he had his tail wrapped around the branch struck and then after he started feeding he hung in a J or U shape while feeding with only his tail touching the branch and the mouse not touching the ground.

Today a day after feeding he has come out of his hide and has been laying on top of his branch almost all evening.

I don't think I could ever take his branch away. Maybe have to get a thicker one when he gets bigger. Only about 18", 120g right now.
