Man am I in a situation...

[SGExotics]

This has never happened to me in my life, and Im not sure who else it has happened to... A Hopper Mouse is keeping My Albino Blood Python Hostage.... I went to drop the hopper mouse in his tub and the hopper mouse literally flew in the other direction and went running in my room... Luckily i had him cornered behind the rack... I tried to smash him with a text book, but he flew, so i used snake like skills with my tongs to grab him! I shouldve kept squeezing until he died, but i decided to let my blood do it... (Big Mistake, this mouse is obviously too smart...)... So i dropped him in carefully, and he almost flew out again... But i managed to close the bin before this dam thing leaped out... I opened the tub to see if my blood killed it, and the mouse tried to jump right out when i opened the tub, so i had to shut the tub as fast as possible causing the dish to splash, thus making my blood python lose his appetite!!! So now i have a snake that isnt hungry, in a tub, with a mouse that tries to jump for the exit each time you open the tub... I tried stealthfully reaching for the mouse with the tongs to hopefully grab him like a snake would, but the second i get close he Jumps!!! He jumps HIGH too!!! Man, wait til i get my hands on this thing... Im going to give him to my cousins big tegu that is visiting... Im sitting in my room right now monitoring them as i cant leave live food alone with the snake.... Wish me luck...

Yea I was just going to write....don't leave that one alone with your snake...sounds way too fiesty!

Well, if you can't get the mouse out, might as well take some vids of this amazing jumping rodent!

I really don't have any advice to offer except to be very ninja-like with your tongs.

Hold a tall box or bin in front of the snake rack, when you open the snake bin and the rodent jumps into the tall box/bin, grab your shotgun. It will be like shooting fish in a barrel.

HAHA! That would be a good idea... i just need a shotgun...

get a cat

If i wasnt allergic then i would.. lol

But thanks for the ideas guys... I had to do this S.W.A.T. style... I crept in really quietly and wacked the mouse on the head.. While he was down i threw him in the tegu enclosure and that was the end of that... No casualties, Enemy Down.

i can come over and shoot it for you? i have beast skills with my .30-06 hahaha

Thats why i hold them by the tails and dangle them in front of the snake for feeding. There is no chance they can get away. And every no and then a mouse/rat will curl up and bite my finger. But a quick WHACK to the side of the rack fixes any leftover aggression.
