Stefan's garters

[Stefan-A]

If you have an aversion to profanity, turn the audio off. I was watching a blogTV show while I was feeding the snakes.

cool video, they glom them right down don't they?

That's what I call a feeding response.

[Stefan-A]

That's a fairly typical vagrans feeding response. The males are usually a bit more brutal than that and the females a bit less.

By contrast, the tetrataenia I have will usually just gently nip the mouse and let go 3-5 times before it finally holds on. Even then, it's a really weak hold and it will wait up to a minute before it starts swallowing it.

That yearling eats just like Mama does... She's just slow and dainty when she eats :P She also doesn't strike much, just just packs them down quite a bit.

Amy viciously attacks her food every time. Even a little more aggressively than your vagrans.

There is a size difference, although it might be difficult to tell. The first one is smaller.

I have really wanted one since the first time I saw photos of Stefan's snakes.

He describes them as having "great" attitude as well.
