Awww, I love this!! He's so cute! Its amazing how captive snakes have all their inbred genes, ready to go instincts! I can always tell when Louie wants to eat cus he'll kind of do the same thing but in his house, he'll lay all hidden under the shadows of his leaves and branches with just his snoot peeking out like he's in ambush! So I know he's ready for dinner 'cus he's on the look out for a tasty rat supper. I love the picture of your snake with his dinner going down, looks like he's grinning! He's got such bright eyes. Pretty baby!
