At certain times of the year my snakes are crazy as can be with feeding responses.
I have had Kings fly out of a container in a rack 5 foot off the ground come smashing to the ground as if it was not a big deal still chasing me....with their mouths open the entire time.
I had so many close calls so far this season.... almost had a few attached to my forehead too.
My Speckled Kings have been the worst...then the San Diego Gophers and the Brooksi....and in my opinion this is not a good thing....it's a GREAT thing.
Let's not forget I feed mostly everything frozen thawed and still they're attacking like maniacs. Matter of fact lately I have been just peeking in cages to spot clean and look at females and they're still charging me...
I love my snakes.... to say they're interesting captives is an understatement.
