Ok, so what went wrong.......

I think I have an idea but I wouldn't mind a couple of opinions and ideas. I tried to feed my BP last night for the first time. defrosted mouse during day by leaving it on top of his viv. Came home placed mouse in bag immersed in hot water for few minutes, removed and placed in tank.

Snake ignored it for a while but eventually came and showed it a bit of interest before deciding there was no love. BP returned to his hide.

So I thought maybe mouse wasn't giving off enough of a heat sig. So why not warm it up some!! Big Mistake - mouse split in the bag spilling the contents of its insides into the bag.

Why did this happen? Did I warm it up too much or use water that was too hot? If anyone can give me a recipe for preparing an adult mouse for my BP I would grateful.

As for the fact that Brian didn't eat - not so worried yet, he's only been in his home for a week. Hoping maybe mid to late week he'll decide to chow down. I have also got a digi therm/hygro on its way to check the temps etc.

Thanks again guys for the great advice coming from this forum.
