Well done Phoenix! I bet he made you jump !!
I love watching my snakes feeding.
They make me chuckle how they strike and constrict.
I've got a couple that often 'loose' their mouse in the tangle they coil themself into while constricting and they look at me as if it's my fault.....

Well done, Phoenix :-)

Herriotfan, loosing mouse in their own coils sounds familiar - typical Bazilishka. Or, every now and then, she puts a coil over the mouse's nose, then frantically searches the mouse, back and forward, can't find the nose, no matter how many times she goes over. And then I get the "injured" look, but woe betide you, if you try to point the nose out... :-)

I bet you were surprised when he striked I know I was when slink first took the food by striking! I love the idea of the snakes "losing" their food when coiling around it! Haha

Oh yes he definitely made me jump, I just didn't think he would strike so soon, especially after just taking food from the tongs for the first time. I can't wait for his first constrict, He's already building up his muscles and getting stronger when I handle him
