Sorry this is a very boring post for most of you but I was so happy this morning.

Lazy boy Nimbus did his first propper strike and then a sort of mini constrict!

I expected his normal lazy sniff of the food then a slow swallowing movement but no, I held the tongs just above his head, food dangling and he was so fast I nearly pooped myself

He must have been hungry!

I didn't even have the camera ready but will try and film it next week.

lol you know I wondered the same thing about Nimbus! Maybe he knows he has a few new pals comming this week and decided to buck his ideas up and start acting like a snake not a sloth!

Awh! It's always great to see them do it for the first time! Medusa got a little praise when she did it haha it's so good to watch!

It's a very proud moment when they do a first at something isn't it. Well done Nimbus!!!
