Well..it is giving you an outlet away from your schoolwork..it's driving you insane and giving you something to obsess over. Seeley used to do that...and he is my picky eater. He would always do the dance or the ritual, as I would call it, he would stalk his food dish...circle around it...back away...dart in and out of his plants at it...sniff the food..back away...it could go on for hours before he would eat...and sometimes he wouldn't eat much at all, or he wouldn't end up eating. And he has gotten scared off from food...he has tried to eat pieces that were too big for him and then refused food for a month. Maybe it has to do with small, young snakes...some of them anyway...the timid ones, I have no idea. All I can tell you is that he eats sometimes...he surprised me and ate a whole plate of pinky last night and he usually doesn't like pinky...he seems to eat all of his food when I put the reptamin on it...he loves it.
