Sorry, this picture is just hysterically funny.Originally Posted by SpartaDog
...yeah, some of mine are dumber than others. But it's probably also got to do with the heat pits. The snake smells the mouse, which get his appetite going. But he won't strike until the heat pits detect a warm target. If your finger is warmer than the thawed mouse, he'll strike towards the back, or even nick your finger.
Try warming the nose of the mouse under a heat lamp or with a hair dryer for 60 seconds or so. Or let the head of the mouse sit under hot water for 30 seconds and then dry it off. I think you'll see his aim improve.
I'm not ruling out the possibility that he's a few cards short of a full deck! But at least this'll give him a clearer target to aim at.
