Somtimes they do the craziest things. My Amel guy didn't think that the mouse I'd just killed for him was what he was hoping for. Check out the image of him with his dead mouse on his lid. So he went cruzing for something else and found the cage I had the mice in next door. So he strikes at one through the lid and has trouble going anywhere else. Thats because the silly guy is too big to actually fit through the mesh, let alone drag a mouse through it. So I flipped it over, till he let go. For the record? Yes I let him eat the mouse he killed.... perhaps this thread should read, silly mommy, don't put the live prey so close to the snakes...
