Please Help, Me and My Baby Ball are Desperate

Yup. All different. The zombie dance is pretty reliable though. One of my girls will only eat if I bang the rat against the side of the tub. This was a learned behavior and a long story. From her I learned with enough repetition I could get most of them to eat how I want them to eat. I prefer to feed FT without having the rat directly on the paper. So for the snakes that I am going to have around for awhile, they are conditioned to take rats hanging by the tail. For girls that I know I will never sell, this has evolved into getting them to raise up cobra like (I don't recommend this, it is a good way to get bitten but it keeps me on my toes and entertained when I have a lot of animals to feed). The best feeding behavior I have seen is displayed by just one of my girls. I crack her tub open and she will casually come about halfway out take a rat out of the bucket and return to her tub.

I've got a young male right now who did something similar to the bucket thing this week.

I usually crack tubs open enough to feed before I blow dry the rats to get the smell and heat them up, but this boy just popped out and snapped it right out of the tongs "cold" (aka room temp, about 75) before I could heat it at all.
