Hi all,
The other day I posted about getting to know your snake. Well I could tell Heston was hungry.
I was a little cautious about feeding him tonight as he went into his new enclosure just today. But I could tell by his body langauge he wanted a meal.

So any ways ive defrosted/thawed out the fuzzy and done my usual routine of heating it up to about 31-32c on the corner of his heatmat outside his enclosure.
the whole time this fuzzys sitting on the matt this snakes going absolutely crazy. i can tell hes real fired up he knows whats coming.

as soon as i open the lid hes shooting up towards me (not striking but just approaching fast tongue flickering).he does a little head twitch and shoots back a bit (hes still a bit head shy from above) and as soon as that mouse hit the deck hes on to it in a flash. he hit it like a steam train.

i only fed him on the 24th so im not sure why hes so hungry - not that im complaining!

any way, now im sure he knows my routine. im slightly concerned that one day in the not to distant future im going to have a 5ft python shooting out and latching onto me. is this likely to happen?
this kind of happened when i had my corn. i could see he knew when it was feeding time, even before i slid open the glass on his viv he was ready and waiting to strike.

i dont want to feed him outside the enclosure as he is still shy and i think this could set him back.
