Hello everyone, i am kind of concerned that my snake may have eated a sick mouse today.
I had picked up 2 mice and one of them was very active and the other was not really doing anything. I picked it up by its tail and it moved and then i put in into the cage and it didn't move to much. i was thinking that i should remove the mouse and just get another one but by the time i went in to remove the mouse Nyxx( my snake) was striking it and began the constricting process. The " sketchy" mouse was breathing but it looked like all it wanted to do was sleep. IM pretty scared for my snake right now.
I have a couple of questions.
is it possible that the mouse could be sick with something that can kill my snake? I was thinking that because of the strenth of the acids in their stomach that maybe it would kill everything that the mouse coudl have had wrong with it. But i could be wrong so im looking for some advice on how or if they can catch something from the mouse if its eaten.
If not is there anything that i can do to make sure that my snake does not get sick or die. Would you guys suggest a vet visit or shoudl i just watch for something.
**edit
If you need any mre info please ask me, im really uneasy about this whole thing, if my snake dies or gets sick i dont know what i would do with myself
