Adelita - 2019 Hypo Sonoran

...She's 100% on point when it comes to food... as long it's being offered on the tongs. The second the food is put on the plate for her to find she gets the most baffled look on her face. "Excuse me Mother, but why must I find my food myself, and eat from the floor?" You'd think she'd be a little more keen on hunting given how active she gets when she's hungry, but nope!

Personally, I'd forgive her. It must be that little bit of motion & realism when prey is offered by tongs. I know what you mean, I have a few snakes that are like that, & with mine, it appears that they have poor vision & missed the class on snakes having a great sense of smell, so being offered from tongs is what mine need too. I prefer to feed from tongs anyway, so it's no problem.

Behira and Feliz will hit the doors in anticipation of food but will only take off the tongs.

I left the rat 2 inches from Behira one night. Was there in the morning with her 2 inches from it. I picked it up with the tongs and as soon as I shook it she nailed it and ate.

They can be strange.

My corns don’t care. I just throw it in if they are hiding and it’s gone in the morning. Shayna the BP too sometimes.

Yafe the CP is less aggressive about it then the boas, but he’s on the rat so quick it doesn’t matter.

Snakes are all different about feeding, that's for sure. I've had snakes do this too. ^ ^ ^ But I don't usually wait until morning- I've learned to check sooner. It takes them a while to train us.

Never had that happen as far as feeding. Definitely strange. I’ve had dumerils in the past that drove my crazy to get feeding consistently. That’s about it.
