    His cool side sits below 80 usually, however he's often on the warm side. It's possible that from heating him higher to fight the RI his appetite increased. Just fed him another large rat today and he managed to strike in a most ridiculous way (hit the tongs first, then wrapped the rat, so I had to leave the tongs in there with him until he released). His aim while striking seems pretty terrible. He just swings his head around till he gets something in his mouth (often not his actual prey).
