A crude drawing of the strang feeding response my young retic is showing. Iv never seen a snake or herd of a snake feeding on live prey without striking once.

sweet drawing dude lol. but really though i had a 13 ft female burmies that would do that kinda... she would take her time ( we are talkin like an hour or more) to slowly cuddle up to the rabbit and VERY gently throw a few loops around the animal with out striking or spooking it and when she was ready she would consrict instanly with no warning choking the crap out of it without striking.

also i have a baby corn snake now that doesn't have the faintest clue on constricting, he just grabs the fuzzy mouse by the face and starts swallowing it untill it dies of lack of oxygan, very cruel little critter lol.

why are you feeding your cornsnake live? they take f/t so readilly
