    This time of year most of mine stay in feeding mode for days, so I take the opportunity to change the water while they are constricting and anchored.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    So what do you do there Sky? Do you let him finish and then return him to his enclosure or do you throw him back in while he's still constricting the prey?

    She went right back home after eating it. She really likes her enclosure. I tried once to lift her back in with the food in her mouth and she spit it out to look at me. For her it's easier just to let her eat and go home herself.
