That's super strange, but definitely something I'll keep in mind if I ever wind up with a fussy eater. My only fussy eater was a ball python who wouldn't take frozen.. but he's now 3 for 3 meals frozen in a row, so I think that's a thing of the past.

He only did the strike pose during that first shed with us, back when he weighed a grand 8 grams. His subsequent shed we lifted his hide and he didn't react, but we were looking for the eyes that time and didn't reach toward him like the first.

Now that he's bigger, the only difference in shed or not is he rarely is above the substrate and he flinches away if you move your hand too close or too quickly near his face. No striking or fleeing after, so I guess he realizes it was only me after. I usually only have him out the once per shed to unbury him, put in his moist hide and show him the entrance. He loves it, but if I leave him alone he may not notice it until he finishes shedding it he is buried and has already started going blue.
