I wasnt about to pick her up and get nailed so i just dropped it in there and ran.I have never seen her feed so agressive.

It was pretty cool to see
heh.... that's sort of how it was when i fed Apollo last Sunday. i'm not continuing feeding live, but i'm happy i got to see it a few times. when i wasnt crying and actually paying attention, i got to see how he really hunts. it was truly amazing, and it makes me appraciate my snake even more. just watching him stalk the mouse. after he was about 30 seconds into constricting it, the mouse had stopped moving. well, about 20 seconds later, it started twitching like mad, and Apollo was on it. he bit down on its head harder and started constricting his whole body around it. the mouse was dead in seconds.

i have to admit, feeding live is extremely interesting to watch. glad i got to do it a few times!!
