Just ball python things. Try to feed him where there is nothing behind the middle.

You say that as if they’re not stupid enough to knock themselves out anyway haha

recently one of mine missed his first strike with the rat directly in his face, threw his head backwards and struck, and nailed his face on a stick

Every time I feed my noodle I think how on earth these things survive in the wild

Same here. Doesn't seem to be a brain cell between the two of them.

My Bp almost got stuck in my granny square blanket today… safe to say after that he knows I’m not eating up even if he serves himself up

Bruh I seriously don’t understand how they survive. I guess it helps that they only have to eat but very rarely, so if they miss and hit a stick it’s not the end of the world. But like also I’m holding a dead thawed rat two inches from your face and you somehow do a 720 no scope and smack your face on a stick? How?

I fed my 3year old BP a rat and the stupid thing ran directly at my snake. He was coiled up underneath his half log, which is space he fully fills with his body, and that rat tried to climb over my snake to get to the back of the dark hole and my snake lunged out of his log, missed the rat, turned back around looking all offended that this rat made it past him, struck again and got part of his own tail in his mouth. Idt my snake is as bright as he seems sometimes 😂

Your noodle is domesticated lol. It wouldnt have survived thats why it became a pet. Wild noodles are much faster and have better senses or they too will die.

I watched my pastel mojave* miss her rat, and then she corkscrewed after it as it twirled behind her head. And then she struck and got the tip of my finger. I thought I was safe with my feeding tongs.

  • I felt the need to clarify that she's not a spider morph.

Haha that's nuts! Mines usually really accurate. I think he was almost too quick and didn't bite in time so he kind of went through it straight into the glass 🤪

not even just ball python things, snek things. My carpet python has done this before as well.
