Going back to an earlier discussion here, on indigos slowing down on food for the winter:
My young '13 girl, maybe 40 inches, had refused food for 10-14 days, as she turned blue. Yesterday, I saw she'd shed, so I thawed some mice, a 1-day quail, (and a chick for a bigger snake.) I cut the leg off the chick, and had barely gotten the tongs to the door of her hidebox, when she ERUPTED from the entry, yanking it back inside. By the time I'd picked up a small mouse with the tongs, and turned back to the cage, she was out of the box, and SHOT STRAIGHT AT MY CHEST, mouth agape, through the open door!
She quickly recovered, and while I tried to control my laughter, she found the tongs, and proceeded to eat a couple of mice and the quail. I really love a voracious eater!
