I went to feed Rambo after shed yesterday and my friend was around so I got him to record it on a slow motion app, the first two times he struck we thought he missed and the third he didn't strike but just bit the mouse. After watching the videos back I noticed the he was actualy striking with his mouth closed. I know a lot of snakes do this as a defensive but a royal? To its food? anyone else experienced this?
Could possibly be a little nervous one of my babies this year has a tendancy to strike his food two or three times before he finally latches on and constricts, wouldn't honestly know if he's doing it mouth closed or not though.
