feeding question

[hardball]

Ok so I tried to feed my BP for the first time Monday and he wouldnt eat the live mouse and at the time i didnt have anything to put it back into so i put him back into the paper bag he came in and put the bag in the pillow case that i picked my BP up in and tied it shut. The next day i got a critter keeper and the mouse was still alive and i put some bread and water in there with him but when I checked on him earlier today it had died. Is it ok to try and feed the dead mouse to him?

If the mouse has been dead for a while, no I wouldn't feed it to your snake. I try to go with the idea that it's meat. If meat has sat out in a cool area, it might be okay for a little while, but if it's warmer, than it's not.
Just my own opnion, and I'm sure others will chime in quickly.

I agree completely...I would pass on the mouse. No reason to risk it.
