Don't you just love it when ....?

Don't you just love when it is feeding day and you give e1 their mouse in their deli cup and turn out the lights. When you come back in EVERY deli cup only has a snake with a lump and no mouse left? I mean there is almost always one who for one reason or another doesn't eat that day or takes longer than e1 else. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

I am lucky....I have 5 snakes and each one eats right in front of me and immediately. The only missed feeding I have had is Wilson the bp (after we finally got him eating) He has missed 2 feeding in 7 months and both were while he was in blue. Other than that he literally chases his mouse across the cage.

Yes, most of mine eat as soon as the mouse is put in the cup, but I have two W/C that take their time, have to have dark solitude and then one only eats every other time. I guess he is not as hungry as e1 else. Last night e1 ate within the hour! Of course e1 else was finished by the time I got to the last two lol.

Here is a pic of the anorexic rat snake lol.

I have a problem feeder, so I haven't had that success in a while. Someone always has to make problems. With as many snakes as I have, though, it'd be a miracle to get them all to eat in the same feeding. They just wanna to put me to work and see me put out that extra effort!

I hear you, Gypsy! I've always got one that ruins the curve. But at least that gives me someone to play with while the rest are digesting!
