Today I went to give my little guy his weekly feeding. He is a 2008 Normal, who has been eating well since I got him in January. Something very strange happened when I introduced the prey earlier today. He struck and missed once, and the second time struck and tried to coil himself! After afew seconds of nervousness, he uncoiled, and balled up. I then picked the mouse up with the tongs and re-introduced. Although he struck and coiled the mouse the second time, he didnt seem to know what to do with it. I then had to pick up the mouse for a third time, which he struck, coiled, and ate normally. Has this happened to anyone before? Can anyone shed some light on this behavior? I feed F/T, in a tupperware tub w/ cover. Is this anything I should worry about? Thank You in advance for all of your help.
