Ok, weird title i know. I have had my snake for 5 weeks now and he hasn't touched anything f/t so tonight i tried live.

The mouse i chose was the same girth as the snake and he struck as soon as i put the mouse in with him.

That was about an 30 minutes ago.... the mouse is still struggling and i see it breathing. the snake has it by the neck and yet it is still breathing...

is this normal? I dont think it is.. i always assumed the mouse would die within a minute or so. is their any way to separate them and try again tomorrow?

Agh, i just want to have peace of mind and get to bed.... its 3 am.

:/

thanks in advance
