she kept doing that like 5 times in a row though. does anybody know whats up?

P.S. (off subject) im getting my flexwatt soon. the first time i ordered it, it got lost or stolen and i never got it. i cant wait until my rack is done.
I just had my female do this as well. She would roam around the rat looking as if sizing her up...which I'll admit the rat was a little bit larger than the normal small rats. A few flicks of the tongue and the neck coiled back for strike...but nothing. I belive that the medium rat was just too intimidating, so in a few days I will be finding her a smaller rat to feed.

However, Shogun ate his medium rat without issue, and...I offered him the second refused rat from Q because he still showed interest in the smell in the air, so he pounded hers as well...so he is quite the happy camper with his large meal.
