Ashley, it's perfectly normal for any snake to start looking for food the day before feeding day. Even if there's no prey smell present they will start searching around, lurking out of their hides, that sort of thing. Perfectly normal, a sign of a snake involved and aware of it's surroundings and getting ready to gear up to a good hunt. Usually once ours are in this "zone", we don't bother them at all as they have a tendency to be a bit more snappy and reactive (and that's not fun with some of our big females LOL).

You should see our place on Tuesday night and all day Wednesday (Wednesday is feeding night around the ole homestead). Whole bunch of very determined looking snakes. All peeking out of their hides (lurking), skulking around the side of their hides or out in plain sight in full coil just waiting for their lovely warm dinners to arrive. It's hilarious to see big Brannagh or Orlah in this posture and then go look at little tiny Darra or Kennis doing basically the same thing.

The really funny ones are the snakes that have figured out just how their tubs open up. They park themselves right at the area that will open first so they can't miss out on dinnertime LOL. Makes it tough on us though as we always place live prey away from the snake so have to avoid these smart ones!

Had to run grab a pic for you. Niamh, one of the 07 females, waiting on dinner to show up. It's feeding night for the babies so she's got herself set up right at the front of her tub so she doesn't miss out LOL.



This little porker weighed out at 192 grams yesterday so she will move up now to a once a week feeding schedule with the bigger snakes. I love when these little babies graduate!
