Truly. Deeply. Madly

So I'm feeding the snakes. I dangle Anya's rat, and in her enthusiasm, she strikes!

And misses.

And bites her own neck.

And now she's wrestling herself into submission, no matter how often I dangle the rat in front of her.

I figure the best I can do is leave the rat in the feed box with her, and hope that once she gets her brain around the fact that her prey is NOT fighting her, she'll find it and eat the damned thing.

And I sincerely hope she does not manage to actually hurt herself before the pain in her neck reveals itself to be her own teeth...
