Since February 20 2016 I've compiled a collection of several snakes. 2 carpet pythons, 2 corn snakes, 2 hognose snakes and one California king. They are all very young and hence they stay mostly hidden right now but in just the last few days I've noticed a pattern and personality starting to show in my oldest snake which is a coastal carpet named Shag. I have this one fake branch item in his enclosure which he stays perched on at it highest point during the day. The other day just after lights out I offered him his f/t rat pup while he was still perched there which he eagerly took. Now it is close to feeding day again and I noticed that after lights are out he is staying perched there but has his head and body extended downward toward the floor slightly which I think is a hunting position. Really cool looking and it is time to feed again this evening and I can't wait. Also looking forward to seeing the patterns and personalities of the other youngsters to start emerging.
