absolutely nothing different !!! well other than the fact that the prey items had been in room bit longer than normally defrosting .
heated head as usual to fahrenhiet(sp) ''burny handies off'' ( ok it was maybe not that hot ) enuff to evoke heat pit detection .
big clue for me was she was crusing the tub at the open end ( where I see her ) she LOOKED interested so was chuffed when she STRUCK !!!
this one gave me problems to start when I oriinally got her , she was a non feeder , small , very small for her age , eventualy got her to take a gerbil to kick start the feeding , then over to rats .
some snakes just seem to only want to take half a dozen meals a year , or so it seems !
