Do only some corns constrict? I've saw videos on YouTube of them doing it fine, I was wondering if they only did it if it was live prey?
Or could you teach a corn to do it?
HELP! |

| I always thought best way to get them to constrict is when they strike the meal tug gently as if in wild the mouse is struggling or is that a lod of rubbish? |

| Sometimes mine do sometimes they don't. It seems to depend on how often they are fed with mine and what they are fed. If they go only a week between feeds they just don't seem to bother to constrict. If they have gone 2-3 weeks between feeds then just about everyone will constrict. Oh and if Keith gets given a rat then he just can't control himself and constricts it until its almost at bursting point but never while holding it in his mouth he is to busy keeping an eye on me, guarding his rat I reckon. |
