That is what I believe the big "secret" is about feeding these. He must be up in a tree, and you must tease him with the worm, sometimes for many minutes before he strikes. Usually long after people with less patience would have given up trying.

Personally, I like hand feeding him. when he strikes, its lightning fast.

This snake will grow to be 5-6 feet long, yet stay very slender, about a roll of quarters thick tops. He eats 3-5 crawlers nearly every day

If I extend my arm into his enclosure, and hold still, he will climb up and use me for a tree. Never bit or musked once. The spacing on the lights is every 12 inches.
