Wandering and hissing?

[sbit]

My male was doing that a bit. Sans the hissing. But he would look like he was restless. Had two failed feeding tries. He took a small rat yesterday. BPs are odd that way. You can't always tell why they go off feed. Maybe her last meal was slightly bigger? White rat vs black rat, etc.

Do you use a separate feeding tub? I have used a combination of a feeding tub and covering it 3/4 with a towel. And then monitoring it from the open side.

I've also tried hides with top openings so the BP can ambush.

The stuck eyecaps can also contribute. Especially if she can't see as well or if her vision is blurry.

I wonder about that - she does seem hesitant if the meal is a little bigger. Maybe I'll try a smaller rat and see what happens. I usually feed in her enclosure, but she sometimes won't eat until everyone's gone to bed.

Interesting thought about the hides! She used to be a more eager feeder all around...maybe it's harder to hide/strike now that she's bigger. I have a bigger tank for her now, but I wanted to get a rat in her before I switched her to it...hmmm.

Thank you!
