She almost got me too because I wasn't expecting that or her reach to be so long.

Then after that, the proven breeder female I picked up a few weeks ago thought the paper towels in her tub would make a nice meal and tried to strangle those. I got tired of waiting for her to realized that they weren't food and just left her the rat.

All this happened about 2 hours ago, I just went back to check on everyone and to make sure they ate their rats. Sure enough, 2 of my 2011s that took the rats from me didn't eat them. These two girls have been acting like they are slowly starving to death the past few days, but they didn't eat the food I could barely get into their tubs before they struck. The best part is they both took them again when I picked them up with the tongs and did the zombie rat dance. This was very odd, I hope they actually eat them this time.

I'm literally LMAO at the mental image of that.



Glad you didn't get bit.

My Spider male is a feeding weirdo.

He'll strike, coil and then drop it.
A few minutes later, he'll swing back around and nonchalantly open his face and start swallowing the mouse's head.

Last week, he dropped the mouse during the coil but stayed coiling, viciously squeezing thin air right to death.

The other night, the male Pastel did his usual good hit and then started slithering all around with the small rat in his mouth, slung over his "shoulder".

Then he got into his water bowl and dropped it and couldn't figure out how to snorkel his way to the rat's head so he could eat it.

Had to fish the rat out, dry it off and start all over again.

Crazy snakes.
