    Tail Wagging Before Eating

    So, yesterday was feeding day for everyone and this was the first time I tried feeding a rat to my normal girl Isabelle. I'm one of the fortunate ones out there that has a snake that'll eat anything you throw her way and this rat was no exception. Though I did notice something pretty weird if not absolutely adorable (made me giggle) right before she went for the kill. When she went into the pre-strike position, she wagged her tail like a madwoman! I could have mistaken her for a rattlesnake the way she was wiggling that little tail around! The only reason I think this is slightly odd is because the only time I've ever heard of a BP wagging their tail was when they were breeding or "in the season". I haven't bred her at all...ever. So this seems pretty peculiar. In all honesty I think she was just super excited but who knows. I don't think it's anything unhealthy but correct me if I'm wrong.

    TL;DR - OMG she wagged her tail HOW CUTE! Anyone else see this behavior while feeding?
