Whenever I feed my bp she will strike at the prey but not bite and constrict.
Because she is a new snake I assumed it was out of fear but she would never strike at me plus she would go after the prey. She didn't seem afraid.
I decided to leave the f/t mouse in her enclosure after she struck at it and when I came back later it was gone.
She has done this twice now.
Anyone have any insight on this behavior?
Sometimes they like to be left alone when they're eating.
It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
It is okay to feed live food to snakes.
