Ok so i fed skittles two mice yesterday, the second had lots of blood round its nose and he struck at it IT WAS SOO COOL. BUT then he wanted a third one, i think he did anyway because he was veryyy active and kept trying to bite my finger whilst i was puttiing water in his viv. Should I have fed him a third one and is this normal or is he just a greedy fatty? And at what age aprox should a snake strike because this is the first time he has and he is now almost 2years old or is each snake different?

my first corn struck when it was a few months old. so im assuming it depends on the snake. i feed mine 3 sometimes but i wouldnt reccomend it every feed

corns will eat and eat so its down to you as the owner to decide weather the snake is full or not. rather than feed 3 pray items maybe move up a size

I've noticed differences between the types to. Dusk, my normal began striking as soon as he hit fuzzies but Dawn my snow stripe hardly strikes at all and certainly doesn't constrict.
I think it may have something to do with the breeding perhaps.
