Yep you were right Judy (again something I shoud have figured out :wink once I turned the lights out and gave him some solo time he ate like a champ. Thanx for that helpful hint.

In fact I think he was still hungry after he ate, the prey item disapeared in him no sign of it anywhere in him and he was out cruising as if looking for more food as aposed to checking the top out for ways out. I wonder if small rats are in order, I just measured him 2 days ago and hes 21 inches.
