A few observations of my own.

I've noticed that some of mine will drink the water dripping off the prey item before they eat it. For some reason all of mine seem to be very gentle feeders compared to what I see in many videos online.

I feed frozen thawed and thaw them out in hot water. I pull them right out of the water so they still have a heat signature. If I could figure out how to record while I feed I would post a video.

And yes they always have fresh water available. But when the bowl goes dry or gets close to being empty I notice some of them coiled in the bowls. The rest of the time they don't do that. It's almost like they are having a panic attack because the bowl is getting empty or they are signaling to me to get my ars in gear an fill them up...

Just a few interesting observations that I've noticed with mine. Anyone else see this kind of behaviour?
