Ok, So I went to feed my girl tonight.. she has been hunting for the last few, but I couldn't get rats til today... well I'm guessing she was really hungry. She missed the rat and went straight for my hand and connected.
She then realised it wasn't rat and then somehow coiled and bit herself and her teeth got stuck. I was freaking calling hubby .. who was in the shower.. I took her out of her enclosure, but she was half wrapped round her big log, so I took the lot out. Her fangs/teeth? were stuck in her and until my hubby finally came to help, I couldn't get them out and even then it was a struggle. She seemed in shock for a lil bit and coiled my arm .. me being the softy I am thought she wanted a snuggle! 2 seconds later she sunk her fangs into my hand and didn't let go for nearly 10 mins.
Since then she has eaten 3 weanling rats and seems fine. I can't find any wound marks on her. Could she have hurt herself? I plan to just watch her atm and maybe check her tomorrow arvo or maybe Sunday. Is there any great damage she could have done to herself? She's eating, so that's a good sign right?
