I was going down to Fort Story today for work because I have a few of my guys working down there and I needed to check on them. FGor the record this also more or less meant I could be gone for the entire day and no one would be the wiser.
I decided to take Bonita with me. She's a 18 month old Red Tail Boa that I have had for almost a year and she's just over 4 feet long. Anyway most of my co-workers are not afraid of snakes save one. That dude is always looking in my pockets for bulges that might be snakes (I frequently keep my baby snakes in my pockets when I go to work). Anyway nothing happened out of the ordinary aside from when I pulled Bonita out he jumped back and was ready to swing his fist. Such is life.
This evening I went to the pet store to get 2 rats and a mouse for my snakes' dinner. All of my snakes ate rather rapidly. The big difference that I kinda noticed tonight was that I am no longer interested in taking pics of the entire meal from strike to swallow. I drop the live rat in the bathtub wait for it to be constricted then I go and drop the mouse in the kitchen sink and wait for that to be constricted. The the last lucky snake gets their food hand fed, careful not to hold on too long or too near the body of the rat otherwise you might be bleeding, in the living room.
One by one as the snakes finish their meal I will return them to their cages and watch the others. Just another night with EP.
