Antenna Sticking out of side of mouth?.

[HLSLeO]

Hello all, I fed Ace today, and he seems to have an antenna sticking out the side of his mouth, is this ok? Is it normal? I always try to pick crickets smaller than the space between his eyes...

OH YEAH!!!!! You will have lots of those in the near future!!!

Phew!!! I was worried!!! Thanx Man!!



Will it go down on its own?!

Yeah he'll lick his lips and it shouldn't be a problem.

Yeah it's totally normal. I've had it happen with Draco. My sister's dragon Spike has done it many times. :roll: Draco leaves body parts in the cage. :shock: I've found cricket legs or a head (really gross) and other anatomy hanging around. Of course he goes back and eats them later within minutes. Uggggh!! :roll: Not the legs though. I feed him medium to smaller large crickets so I don't understand the carnage. :lol: I've also witnessed the antennae moving when they were sticking out of his mouth! :laughhard: I'm a sick puppy!! :mrgreen:

The other day Picasso bit a Dubia clear in half, only eating the lower half of its body... he wouldn't eat the top half and it was still alive! ><

It cracks me up when they do this!!! Mojo is notorious for biting into worms or other live prey and leaving heads or tails. He also gets it all over his lil mouth sometimes and he usually doesnt lick it off right away. Oh but when he discovers it he licks his lips like crazy n then looks around for more. Never a dull moment at dinner time!!!
