Wiggles, the Children's Python

[Homebody]

When any snake is ready to "launch" for a meal, never open the enclosure unless in one hand, you have the prey held with tongs, ready to offer ("put it in his face") immediately. And try not to let him grab the tongs...

Good advice.

Aren't you glad this isn't a LARGE python? (But he missed that memo...) My Spotted python is a "quick feeder" too- these are bold snakes, not BPs.
Your snake is normal & healthy- this is just "who he is"- expect this from now on.

It called to mind the stories I've heard of retics launching themselves out of their enclosures. That's not for me. I love my little monster but a big monster is too much monster for me.
