first i will start with the not so great news. my snake shed but it was not complete. im getting the humidity thingie at walmart right away. i spent an hour and a half of soaking him and rubbing off the rest of the skin so hes fully shed now. hes so pretty looking! he used to be more green but now hes a shade of gold. now for the great news. buddy ate his first mouse! i was dangiling it in front of him and he lifted his head to smell it. i was so excited! he was actually paying attention to the mouse! then he lowerd his head and started moving towards me, i was getting really dissapointed but then once again i wiggled the tongs and BAM!!!!!! he knocked that mouse right out from the tongs. then he constricted and started swallowing but he had the mouse by the leg so i let go of the mouse and moved in towards its head and got it again. i had to leave but when i came home i couldnt find the mouse in the cage so i figured the snake swallowed it.
