Re: Strange behavior

Yeesh, that feeding response gives my woma python a run for her money! That is a snake who thinks it is--or certainly should be--supper time.

It does look like he's using a technique called caudal luring, in which the tail is enticingly wriggled to simulate a worm or smaller snake to attract prey. Copperheads and death adders are among some of the species that also do this. He seems to have fallen for his own puppet show though. :lol

I'm guessing that you don't put your hands in that cage for love or money. Mr. Hook is your best friend.
