I don't blame you- it's hard to watch a snake do something that has to hurt & could cause injury. I never had that problem with the BCI I had, because she lived in a very large glass tank with entry from the top- still a challenge as she was ready & aiming, but it was much further to go for a strike & she never hit anything but my incoming rat-loaded long feeding tongs. There's pro's & cons to everything- with acrylic doors at eye-level, that's a drawback & a challenge- it's almost impossible to sneak up on him.![]()
