A couple weeks ago, I warmed up a quail for my finicky Dumeril’s. I often thaw food for only one of them, because it’s always a crap shoot as to whether or not she’ll eat, so I just toss him the leftovers as not to waste.
Well...as previously mentioned, he knows the sound of a hair dryer in this house can mean only one thing. And he is FINE TUNED to that sound! He was sleeping tucked up high on his “don’t touch me” perch when I went down the hall to the bathroom to give the thawed quail a quick blast.
Returned to the room to find him very much awake, sprawled across the enclosure with his face to the glass, just opening his mouth at me. He is so greedy. There was no getting away without feeding him, so the hiding, sleeping Dum lost her dinner to the beast
My brother watched this feeding and was singularly impressed that Apophis launched a full 3 feet with savage precision to grab his snack! I’m just glad I have 20 inch tongs!
