I just fed my snake for the first time yesterday. It was a F/T adult mouse.

When I fed her, I used tongs to kinda dangle and shake the mouse in front of her. She happily took it.

Im worried because part of the mouse touched her substrate and now it seems like she smells something. Anytime she gets near that area that the mouse was on, she coils up into the 'S' shape and looks like shes getting ready to strike. Could she still be in feeding mode? Or should I up her food?

She also just stares at me. Like, I mean, she's focused on me. o.o She hasn't tried to bite or even strike yet though. I was just wondering if this was normal. I actually have her cage up on my desk next to my computer. Should I move it?

Thanks for any advice! :]
