First hopper
I introduced Sophia to her first hopper last night, and as soon as it hit the bottom of her cage she ws all over it. Of course, I counted my chickens before they hatched. Once she got done "killing" the hopper, she attempted to swallow it tail first, but couldn't get it lined up properly. The tail and hind legs kept getting in the way. After about 10 minutes of trying to get it in her mouth, she just seemed to say "screw it!", and dropped the fuzzy, then went into her hide. Of course I warmed it back up a bit and tried to get her to eat it, but she had totally lost interest. really pissed me off, but thats the way it goes sometimes I guess.
Has anyone else's snakes done this? I'm sure some have. Let's hear some stories!
