I have two adult female KSBs (one anery, one albino, not related, but previously housed together). When I feed them they go after and attack their prey with gusto, but then don't eat it. Sometimes it takes me presenting the same mouse 2 to 3 times before they'll eat this. They didn't start doing this until the past 6 months. They use to eat fine. Husbandry is fine, no other snakes in the collection have this behavior (all are within the same rack with exact same setups). No signs of respiratory problems. These girls are so greedy when it comes to attacking prey that they will almost go after your hand!

What are they doing? Anyone ever seen this before?
