I should call him Short-Bus (messy pics)

Yanno...temperment-wise, Pickle Bunny is quickly becoming my favorite snake. He's soooo calm and curious. He's just amazing.

Buuuut...he's not the brightest. If he were living out in Africa, he would have surely been eaten by an eagle by now. :P

I fed him last night...he struck at the F/T mouse like a viper...grabbed it before I could even set it down! It's after that point, that he tends to forget where he is. Hehehehe. He had the mouse sideways...and sat there for five minutes (yes, I timed all of this). He then started to try and eat it...only problem..the mouse was still sideways. But he tried and he tried. He worked real hard at it...in the process making the mouse resemble Rick Flair's head...covered in blood...head and belly. This went on for anouther THIRTY MINUTES!!! FIIINALLY, he found an end and got to work again. Only problem..it was the wrong end. So, my little Pickle decided to eat the mouse butt first.

FINALLY, 45 minutes later, the mouse was in his belly. He gave me a beautiful yawn and waited for me to pick him up, wipe the blood off him (heh) and put him away.

And I thought mine was the only retarded BP. I've had one snake do that 3 times.
