    Weird Behavior. Can someone explain?

    Last Night I was feeding my snake but the mouse kind of tore apart before he ate it so he didn't want to touch it. It happened to be my last mouse so I had to put him back in the cage without eating (he will be fed tonight). However, after he was in the cage last night several times he would go from the warm to the cool side very fast and in a like twisting motion almost thrashing. It looked really weird. I've never seen him move that way so I'm just wondering what was going on. Any thoughts?

    Your BP was probably pretty excited about his meal. Might have been on the hunt for it.

    Does he have the Spider gene in him by any chance?

    I honestly have no idea if he has a spider gene. Just out of curiosity what would having the gene do?

    Re: Weird Behavior. Can someone explain?

    Spider BPs have a neurological defect that makes them "wobble". You can google it and get more info. You can also see how a Spider morph looks like.

    Here's a good read on the subject:

    Perhaps he doesn't like being fed in a separate container, being an ambush hunter and all...

    You actually have anything to add to the conversation or do you just want to bash this person for doing things differently than you? Go troll somewhere else please.
