I don't call them beepers, but I must say, mine doesn't really convince me that they're a dignified snake. Yesterday he was too "dignified" to actually strike his food properly so he booped it with a closed mouth, then sat back and waited until my hand got tired so I laid the food down for him and he could just lazily scooch his face along it. He also took some mid-eating breaks. He won that battle this week, but is it dignified? lol
