Re: Running into a problem
Sounds like she just wasn't hungry. I'd leave it in there over night. If she doesn't eat it then toss it. And just feed her next feeding day. Don't stray from the schedule.
Maybe next time she eats once she Kills the mouse leave her alone. I have a few snakes who won't swallow when there being bothered. They want me to give them some privacy.
About the deformities. I wouldn't really worry to much about it. Just make sure she is never bred. And if I were you I'd be having a word or two with the one who you purchased it off of.
Re: Running into a problem
Yeah I wouldn't worry so much about it. As long as she didn't completely eat it and then throw it up she should be just fine. I'd just offer her food the next time she is scheduled to eat.
Re: Running into a problem
the corkscrew really doesn't have a negative effect on their well being. Chances are she changed her mind about eating or perhaps there was something wrong with that paticular mouse. As others stated...leave it overnight on the warm side...if it is still there in the morning throw it out and try next week.
As far as when she goes blue prior to shed ....you can still offer food...some take it and some do not.
