Hmm...normal....

Brannagh at over 2,000 grams lunging up out of her tub and ending up hanging upside down half out her tub with her rat in full constriction....

Kyna nearly standing on her tail like a cobra when Mike was at least 3 feet back from her (and I) with her dinner coming in....

Malachi trying to strike anything that moves and is warm on every feeding day but not other days....

Brannagh after just eating her rat and not even readjusting her jaws trying to get from her tub to Orlah's to steal Orlah's rat (wish I had the camera then...it was hilarious!)....

Rionach who decided for two weeks running that a rat only tastes "right" if it's dunked in her water dish repeatedly...then consumed...then decided that rats aren't nice wet and went back to her old ways....

If there's a normal feeding response I'm still looking for it LOL. All of ours are however very aggressive live feeders but since I'm not using hemostats...I can just stand back and watch the feed without my hands being involved like when we fed f/t and p/k.

With Brann we do sometimes have to distract her to introduce prey if she's really in the mood and patrolling the area of her tub that she knows from habit is where the rats show up. A quick spritz of water, a snake glove in front of her, stuff like that usually backs her up enough so we can put the prey in without a problem.
