Apollo did it! I was always so envious of everyone's constricting pictures because none of mine had ever bothered. Andromeda gives a good strike, lightning fast and very accurate, but never a constrict.

I delayed Apollo's feed by 4 days and fed him a slightly larger hopper than usual and he actually struck at it (he's NEVER done that either!) and slowly coiled around it, then sat there for a good five minutes to make sure it was dead. Was so excited I ran to get my camera

Jake will not strike or constrict unless his meal is warm.

Great Pic :)

Thanks. He waited so patiently for me to go downstairs and get my camera. He was busy 'killing' the mouse haha.

I usually slightly wiggle the prey after they grab a hold of it (not too much as I wouldn't want to damage any teeth) and that seems to trigger the constricting instinct in almost all of my snakes :)

That's what I call a S&C!! Awesome to witness.
