Reptile & Amphibian Forums

With all the messages that always show up on here about balls that won't eat, just thought I'd share what my "finicky" eater has taken to.

I had to build a little feeding platform in order to get him to take F/T so that he couldn't see the tongs holding on and it all seemed normal for a couple of years until about 4 months ago. Ever since then, he grabs his rat within 5 seconds of me showing it, but then hangs himself off the side and eats it upside down! I think that maybe he saw one of my tree boas eating and thought it looked like a good time. Or maybe it's an eating morph! (kidding...kidding...) Anyhoo here's the pic, hope you all find it as entertaining as I do.

LOL, that's excellent! If given the opertunity, i.e. if they have platforms to work from, mine will do the same thing. It IS a trip to watch
