last night was such a weird feeding for EVERYONE (Pumpkin, Spaghetti and Yellow). i took a video of Coffee Bean striking but at the very last second she aimed at the side and bites on the lil grips at the end of the forceps. i was trying to gently get the forceps free but you can hear her teeth grating on the metal grips and it's a HORRIBLE sound. she just would not let go so i had to gently wiggle them free.
you can hear the metal against her teeth as soon as she pounds the rat pup and while i'm trying to get the forceps frew. i warn you, it's not a pleasant sound:
then after her "kill" she uncoiled and wandered towards me from inside her tub. i'm like ...oookay and i carefully grabbed the rat pup, reheated, and re-offered. she refused to strike; she'd stick her face aaaaall over that feeder and sniff every hair, but never struck. she kept tracking the feeder so i kept dangling, but eventually she like, raised up so high she got above the tongs. she ended up coming down right on top of the feeder and when i wiggled it beneath her BAM! strike.
then she did this for a few minutes...
