I have 2 females and 1 male "Flame" eastern's(Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis). They are wonderful until it's feeding time then it's a smack down. They fight each other and I've never seen so much tail whipping in my life. They try to steal food when their mouth is full. I'm fair game at feeding time and must watch them to keep them from launching themselves out of the enclosure.
Just wonder if this is an overall eastern trait or just Flames?
