Suki did this on her first feed with me and then again a few feeds later but the kids were watching her eat then so I don't think she liked the audience.

yeah that was my assumption. my gf was sitting right next to the rub too. she was okay afterwards tho hence taking the second pinkie. maybe next time ile just let her strike it and then walk away! :)

Give her peace to eat. She's afraid that you are going to steal the pinkie and is rattling to scare you off.

Tail rattling is common in snakes, rattlesnakes just go the extra mile with the actually rattle. If they get it just right they make a right noise against stuff.

About a week or so back Gil rattled at me, lol. I'm paranoid and I check in his faun every morning so I can't say I blame him. He's never rattled me whilst being fed though.
