Do your snakes have stage fright?

Posted by Sarah on September 15, 2008

I think Monty, one of our ball pythons has stage fright - or at least he doesn’t like to eat with people watching.

For whatever reason, people love watching the snakes eat.

Last night we had two people over who wanted to watch the snakes eat, so we fed the snakes in front of them.

Sheila ate like she normally does, but Monty ended up eating the rat tail first, instead of head first.

I’m not sure what’s going on.

Ok, maybe it did have something to do with the fact that one of the rat’s legs fell off when it was thawing.

The time before that we had about 6 people over watching the snakes eat - and Monty ripped the mouse’s head off.

Have you ever had that happen before?

I think we’re going to have to start letting him eat in peace from now on!
