I house all of my snakes in thier own tanks and they are in my livingroom, I have a total of 3 adults 2 yearlings and 4 babies. today they were all acting very strange. All moving aroung there tanks. all temps were perfect humidity perfect. I went to check the babies and my one female stuck me.. I was shocked she has never done that and she just ate two mice friday. Then I went to change the water in my yearling females tank and she struck me and she drew blood. Wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be..LOL She also ate a large rat friday.. All snakes are full.. It finally dawned on me I had a tank in the livingroom that had mice I had dropped a few males in to play with the famales.. I forgot to take them back downstairs in thier room.. I guess the smell of the mice got them all excited to eat again.. wow they have a very incredible sence of smell.. I was watching them all were looking like they wanted to eat.. I moved the tank downstairs sprayed some lysol and within a half hour all were back in the hides.From now on ill do all the mice stuff in thier room..
