Lol,I'm lucky so far,my cats and my snakes are all normal.... But u weren't to hae that snake. Things happen for a reason

Lol that's too weird! I guess colubrids are a little more violent/quick. Idk why a bp would do it



I'm not sure, but she goes crazy when I touch her too, which I guess not being able to see what is touching her could make her overreact.



That's too weird!



Lol no kidding. It figures I would end up with an 'extra special' snake.



Crazy snakes...

Omm nom nom nom....Wait, what? And I thought my male bee "Homer" was the worlds worst shot. It's funny and a bit sad all at the same time. Maybe spritz her with a spray bottle next time she does this. And props to you for caring for this little gem, even with her issues.

I'm not sure if I should be as cheered up by this as I am, she is so special

I wonder if she thinks she's tasty? :p

I'm in the gym and almost fell of the equipment laughing from your post. "Nom nom, wait what?" ROFL. That made my day.

I'm totally going to start taking videos of her every time I feed her and make a video compilation of her nonsense!

She's def a pain in the neck but I've finally got feeding her down (for the most part). She use to miss a lot of meals bc I couldn't figure out how to actually get her to bite onto it. She's so wacky she might be a permanent fixture here at Slitherin Sisters, lol.

Lol, she did get a good taste! She might have a blood lust now! After a year I've finally given in and just decided to laugh, what else can I do?!

I'm going to bet she has more going on than sight issues. BP's have rotten eyesight anyway, and my completely eyeless girl Athena doesn't act like this. She will "start" a little when I first touch her, but I always talk to her before I pick her up, and I believe she has come to associate the sound of my voice with handling. My husband tried to pick her up without speaking first, and she "spazed out" enough to spook him until I spoke to her, then she settled right down.

Athena has no issue with striking and coiling prey, although for several weeks after I switched her from mice to rats, she refused to strike at all. Apparently she decided this bigger prey was too dangerous to risk getting her head that close, so she would fling a coil of her body against the rat, slam it into the side of her tub, and crush it there until it stopped moving, then she'd eat it. As she grew, so did her confidence, and now she simply strikes and coils like any other ball. And I've never seen her bite herself.

I have had one or two of mine accidentally bite themselves, but they let go in a hurry and then the rat gets hit extra hard for embarrassing them.

I definitely agree. The corkscrewing and flailing definitely makes me think there is something neurological going on. It looks like snakes that have been shipped with hand warmers. Of course, it could have happened naturally via birth defect, but I'll probably never know. It's nice to get some input from someone who has a blind/eyeless snake. Confirms my thoughts on it being a neuro issue rather than site.
