Snake of the Day 04-23-17aaa

Show & Tell

Confused little 2016 Scaleless corn snake.  This pic was taken many hours after she ate a frozen/thawed pinky mouse, but she apparently still smelled/tasted the residual smell of that pinky, enough to be sure she was going to wait a very long time to kill the second mouse of the DAY.  She had a death lock on part of her own body, and every time I touched her anywhere, she tightened her grip, just waiting for her alleged prey’s heart to stop?  Fortunately, she wasn’t constricting vital viscera enough to kill herself.  I finally ran some cool water on her and she abandoned her mis-perceived dessert.
