This girl got tired of waiting for me & decided to escape & help herself  I'm glad I caught her on the first 1 as they weren't quite warm enough yet. I wonder how many of the 197 prey items she would have ate if I had taken another 20 minutes or so to "flip em". She gave me a pretty good laugh last night anyhow.

We had something similar happen once.
We got a ball python in trade (Jeff TerBorg, actually, RIP) a few years ago. We were thawing some food very close to it's rubbermaid container (with a lid, not in a rack), and when we went to feed all of the snakes, we found it had eaten a huge amount of the mice we had thawed.
We laughed, as it sat was sitting on the mice looking like it was trying to claim them and defend his claim. I picked him up to put him back in its tub, and before I could get him in, it snatched another mouse at the speed of light to take with him.

Lol, that's hillarious!! Reminds me of a story Dean Goudie told me about when he was thawing some rodents and had one of his big male Indigos around his shoulders, I guess he stood too close to where they were thawing cause the Indigo litterally launched itself off his shoulders to get to them. I believe this was the same Indigo that he fed a fish too and when it had finished decided it was still hungry and started chasing Dean trying to bite his socks!!!

I can't even walk into the room where the EIs are at my place when any prey is thawed on the main or top floors without them striking at the glass. Can't imagine walking around with one around my neck with prey in the room LOL Mark

I've just been trying to picture Dean running terrified from a 6 ft + Indigo, lol. The one I have to watch out for is my damn Sav, he knows that if it's me opening his enclosure then he's getting fed as I usually don't do the handling with him. He's launched himself a couple times and luckily I had the rat on tongs in front of me.
