Yep, that’s the killer beep grin, just before engaging the ‘chainsaw’.
The ‘scary’ teeth are on my yellow anaconda. Those are respectable, thankfully, he’s never bitten, only struck.
My big Boa girls have greedy feeding responses but the only one who makes me nervous is Tig, my 8’ Argentine male.
He was mistreated and starved for most of his 20 years and gets a little over zealous at supper time.
The last time, he dropped his rat on the floor and flung himself after it
While he was hysterically searching for his rat, I tried to get hold of him to put him back in his house and was rewarded with him doubling back on himself, hissing and gaping.
First time I ever had to use the hook, to grab his front end while picking up his middle.
Got him back in and he immediately hopped back out after the rat.
So...I picked up the rat, threw it in first and did it all over again.
Dang snake is like a dog with a bone.
Next time, he can just finish his supper on the floor.
