I Like Babies!

The adults are all like, I'm not sure I want to eat that tonight, I'd rather have a smaller serving. If you don't cover me up, I'm just going to circle around. I don't feel like eating, I'd rather be looking for a girlfriend. I don't feel like eating, I'm blue. My mouse is too cold now, will you reheat it? Why do you care if it takes me an hour to decide I'm hungry? Why do you care if I have to envenomate the dead mouse for 15 minutes? Why do you care if it takes me 15 minutes to swallow it? Minimum of an hour if they all cooperate.

I'm just saying...

I hope Flash remains a good eater, I guess only time will tell.
 
Yep, I know what you mean as well! My 4 younger ones are great, I put them in their containers, leave them to clean their water dishes, come back and they are done. Dawson is even a great feeder, even though he's an adult male. Chester though, she will not eat until she's locked in her tub with something dark tossed over it. She just started doing this too, I used to be able to dangle the mouse and she'd take it down. Its kind of frustrating!
 
well with my three guys.. ive never had a problem!! still they are young but it takes them like 5 sec to realize oh FOOD!!! then boom.. the one time crush missed and got me.. haha
 
My big male RO is like "Oh yeah FOOD!" strikes, wraps, rolls and squeezes the living daylights out of it. Slowly after 10+ minutes he unrolls, has a sniff around, then decides he may not be hungry after all, or just can't seem to find the head.
I then pick the mouse up with the tongs and show him the head again, BAM! Strike, wrap, roll all over again like, "you're not going to take it away, even if I don't want to eat it yet". We repeat the process one more time and this time the head ends up in his mouth on the first strike, so he decides "Ok if you really want me to eat it I will" and it's gone in seconds.

This is EVERY feeding time!...lol...all the others just get down to business straight away.

thats for sure.. if a girl said i like babies by in the first month of the relationship.. boom see ya!!!

:sidestep:
 
I'd agree that hatchlings can be easier on feeding day, but "the other end" of the process is not so simple. Mine seem to poop in the most inconvenient places and at the worst times... For instance, in the water bowl literally two minutes after I sanitized it.
 
I am glad all my snakes are little pigs. I only have 1 close to adulthood (180g) and she is always fun to feed. I have insta strike and constrict with her every time. My babies are easy too just more work as I use this time to clean and change the water bowls and spot clean. It wouldn't be so bad if they were all in the same room but since they are quarantined all over my apt. I am running all over the place. Lots of washing hands and wearing nitrile gloves in between. I can't wait till they are all in the same room. I am excited though, some of my babies have started to strike at their pinkys instead of just swallow them. I hope they learn to constrict when they get big enough.
 
I had a funny baby feeding incident last night. I fed Jasper first, then Pepper. Pepper is pretty mellow, usually. He ate from my hand last time. Then I went to get Ruby. Pepper began rattling immediatley. He went so far as to drop his pink and coil up and start striking! I threw a dish towel over him, but he could still hear me, and I could still hear him rattling away in there. I was half afraid he was so wound up he wouldn't eat, but he must have found time...
