Now- Im trying to not make this another 'help my snake isnt eating thread'.
im well aware of why snakes wont eat etc.
I purely want to know:
If a snake goes off food, will they still attack the food and restrict it? If so, why.
Tried to feed my coastal today. He has grabbed the rat and constricted him, then after a while let him go. So i pick the rat up and dangle it again, and he grabs the rat again, restricts it again, then after a while, lets go and not interested.
Over 6 hours i have done this 5 times with him.
So each time he has a healthy feeding response, but then just wont actually EAT the rat.
I dont even think i want an answer to this. I think im just venting.
