And experience will show you that it's not a good idea to offer food to a snake near a water bowl. Sometimes they manage to end up wrestling with it & then losing it IN the water, but don't ask me how, you have to see it to believe it. LOL
I move him away to an open area once he's constircting the mouse.
But yeah I have noticed many weird behaviours different from what I expected after researching about BP's.
He also likes to keep his head out of the hide while he lays in it. Thats so strange to me.
