Awwww that must be super nice! Mine is just too tame when eating. As if she was bored and just ate that pinky to do you a favor. I wonder if she'll become a little more active, we'll see!

I find the speed they strike and constrict at amazing!
I still love to watch my snakes feeding, it's so intense.
One of my girls will rattle her tail against the side of the feeding rub if she sees anyone watching!

Neither of mine will strike feed, my female is only just getting used to taking it while I'm still holding the tail lol
They're not shy feeders they just don't strike. They both take the mice gently from your fingers.

I used to get so jealous of people who had constricting snakes, but tonight Apollo has struck and constricted his hopper (picture in my thread)! So happy! I know just how you feel

The thing is, I don't really want mine to strike feed as I jump easily and I like how they're so gently and just gently take it out of your finger
