Rate your MBK

I'm going to give my girl an 8. She'll be 3 y/o in April and she's never musked or bitten me and only struck at me once during a feeding. She's really easy to handle now but she was flighty as a hatchling. She's probably my most shy snake even though my new coastal carpet is challenging that. She'll cruise her tank when she's hungry but she normally hides a lot. I rarely saw her at all for the first few months that I had her. She's beautiful, really sweet, and a beast at feeding time. None of my snakes strike their prey as hard as she does.

Really? More agressive feeding response than your carpets?

My carpets are smaller and younger. They'll pretty much eat anything anytime, so I'd say their appetites are more voracious, but they've never knocked the tongs out of my hands. Neither have my much larger and stronger bull snakes. The other snakes yank or grab their food but my MBK really hits hers. I love the sound she makes when she strikes. It's like a shhwoomp sound

I love feeding Tyrion too lol. He does the same thing. It scared me one time, wasn't expecting him to come out of his hide as fast as he did. I wound up throwing the mouse across the tank ROTFL.
