The last live mouse I fed to a baby ball I was trying to switch over was a very interesting feeding. The mouse wnt on top of a little cocnut hide and the ball threw a coild around it with the thickest part of its body and knocked it off and wrapped around it with the middle of its body. It then held onto the mouse's tail with its mouse and constricted for the rest of the kill with his mid section. I have seen anacondas grab and coil with their thick coils in the middle but no snake have i ever seen coil without striking first and I have never seen a python of any kind coil with the middle of its body like anacondas tend to do. We all know pythons do the 1-3 coils behind the head but has anyone seen anything like I have just described with a ball? I know I have not seen everything so i am not claiming this to be rare its just that i have not seen it before and i wonder who has. thank you. and sorry for all the long posts and bad typing (my hand is still kind of apart if you saw my post below : )

I had one that I just put the rat down next to around the middle of its body....and before it even saw what it was is started to constrict it....
It was the only time I had ever seen anything like it either....luckily the snake didn't get bit....because at that point it was eating live.....but it was pretty cool to see.....

eunectes4, are you the eunectes4 on repticzone?? I am boababe448 on repticzone and bpbabe448 on here.....cool...(that is if its the same eunectes4) if you are the eunectes 4 on repticzone....has the site been down today? or is it my comp?
My website
Yes..I am the same eunectes4 lol I think something was up with it. This forum has a lot more knoweldge and high end animals than repticzone but I like to hang out in there from time to time and give advice. I do spend more time in these forums as there is more people with a lot more experience and market aspects (in repticzone people are only aware there are ball python morphs..here you will see what everyone is getting this year and newer projects) . However, this forum will be less personal for you but you will see a lot of new stuff in the market.
