My Dumerils owns the title of "Craziest Strike" for me. He goes absolutely berzerk when he smells rat. A few weeks ago I was basically standing sort of sideways to reach his tub. I had the rat in the tongs pretty much in front of my face, expecting to just raise the lid and quickly stick the rat in as usual, but this time he didn't wait. As soon as I popped the latch on his tub, he launched about 2 ft out of the tub. All I saw was open mouth coming at my face. Fortunately he snatched the rat and knocked the tongs out of my hand. Scared the crap out of me. I have since relocated his tub,and now I use 24" tongs to feed him instead of the 12" ones. I also now use my hook to open his tub...
