eek! HELP!!!

[LLinz]

My BP is trying to eat a rat RIGHT NOW and he for it covered in substrate! Repti bark and coconut husk. He's constricting it how do I get it from him?!?!

[Jay]

Maybe a pair of tweezers take the lager pieces off, and let this be a lessened learned.

[LLinz]

I fed him on a piece of cardboard he attacked it viciously and dragged it all over his tank... What should I do??

[stephanbakir]

As long as he doesn't it it too much he should be fine.

[LLinz]

I got some of it off with those big tweezer things.. Ill have to wait till he moves to try to get the rest...

[LLinz]

And now he's trying to eat it bum first... He drooled or whatever all over it and that's what made the substrate stick to it..

[LLinz]

Ok my snake just bit himself....he seems to not be able to figure out to eat head first today, he always has without a problem. He bit his own body....... Wtf?!???!!

[stephanbakir]

He should be fine, bps have tiny short teeth.

[LLinz]

Is this strange behavior a cause for concern?? The rat is soaked in saliva, and flattened from him chewing the crap out of it. He usually eats in 10 mins with no issue. I'm so confused..

[stephanbakir]

He really is fine, no need to worry :)
his body now smells like rat.

[LLinz]

Ok, that's what I figured, because he struck at himself, then quickly let go. He has the tail down now, and is quickly scarfing down the rat. Thanks so much for calming me down! I was really panicked for a while there. I guess he was just in a weird mood today....
