Last night was feeding night. My Caulker Cay is in blue and usually he won't come out of his hide, so I just lay the feeder in his tub and he will eat sometime during the night. Last night, however, he came out of his hide while I was pre-scenting. I decided to do a little zombie dance and he didn't look like he was gonna go for it, so I laid the rat in his tub. As soon as I opened the tongs, he struck and constricted... the tongs. Since I had just opened the tongs he only latched on to one side of them, which means he was constricting the other side of the tongs down on his head. I did manage to snap one photo before I unwrapped him and got him back in his tub. I checked on him this morning and the rat was gone so I got one more photo. After a couple days of digestion, I'll get him out and get a better look inside his mouth to make sure it's ok. It just goes to show that something as routine as feeding is never really "routine".
