    Pastel not eating
    My pastel is not eating. She killed the mouse and left it there and now she is hovering around her. What do I do?

    Leave it. How long has it been in the tank? I usually leave them in overnight and it's gone by morning.

    I'd just leave her alone.

    It's early afternoon there, right? Try feeding at dusk - you may get a MUCH better response! :D

    Some snakes don't like you hovering around them. In the wild, eating and right after eating is a very vulnerable time for them. Like stated above I would try feeding later at night and not hovering over the animal. You will have much better results that way.

    I agree, I monitor strikes, when I see It's all good I move on.
