    Can you feed a snake 1 mouse after the other?

    I think i might have a mouser on my hands... anyway, i bought two mice and was wondering: Can you feed a snake 1 mouse after the other? or should I wait a day or 2?

    You sure can

    Feed the first mouse and give him time to get it down, you will see him re-align his jaw (looks like a yawn), once he has done that he should be ready for the 2nd mouse.

    I let mine go back into the hide and get settled again prior to offering the 2nd prey item.


    Hope this helps

    Mine eat them as fast as they can swallow them down. No problem!

    Yes but some snakes, like mine, likes to let the first mouse settle and eat the second the following day.
