Don't mess with me while I'm eating!

natsamjosh Dec 19, 2008 07:05 PM

This little guy cracks me up. He'll grab the mouse quickly, but will not eat it until he makes 100% sure I've left the room. Tonight he even started to come at me while I was taking pictures! I guess he thinks he's a 15 ft. anaconda????

Anyone else's snakes do this?

Thanks,
Ed

A couple of 6' columbian redtails and my adult female SD retic, I'll post pics next week when I feed them again.

My JCP did this same thing for a while. She would even stay coiled around the mouse while she would come after me. She grew out of it eventually and now she'll eat no matter what is going on around her
