Is there such a thing as a good striking snake.. I think my snakes strike perfect. They both seem to always strike at the rats face,then constrict the chest and throat. It just looks right. The kills are always quick. Sometimes if the rats a fighter a won't just die quick,I'll tug on the rats tail a bit and my ghost constricts tighter. It's not something I can say I enjoy watching,so i prefer the rat to be out of its misery as quick as possible.but Is there a right way for a snake to strike?
