Other than that he phones it in for at least 3 days after feeding.
Ambush hunters don't generally actively hunt for their food, they wait for it to come to them. If any of my kiddos are out and actively roaming on feeding day, then 9 times out of 10 they will refuse their food when offered to them. As a result, at least with my crew - roaming indicates that something is "tweaking" or stressing them if it's not happening late at night when they normally take a "cruise".

If they are on top of their hides like Augie, or heads peeking out of their hides in the strike position, they'll be hitting in under 10 seconds.

Augie is in a classic "strike" position, and not really cruising his enclosure. He is, however, ready to strike any prey that might wander by!

He looks so awesome! I love how reduced he is and he is getting more and more yellow!
