Well congrats on the feed! Do the same thing next week and so forth, once you figure out how to trigger them, stick with what works at least for a good long while.

Who knows how snakes think LOL. I have one female here, a good big girl that will slam into her live prey like a freight train. She could care less if a marching band was parading by when she's hunting. However, if you even breathe near her once she's killed her rat - she won't eat it! She's a total goofball that way. We make sure she's got that rat good and dead, then sneak out quietly and can't dare even open the BP room door until she's got her rat down and gone back to her hide. Whatever works....works!
