FEEDING PROBLEM PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

HI ALL,

I FEED MY YEAR OLD BALL PYTHON TODAY AND THE FIRST MOUSE SHE ATE SHE STRUCK ON THE HEAD NOW I NOTICE WHEN SHE WAS EATING THAT THERE WAS A LITTLE BLOOD. THEN AFTER SHE HAD A LITTLE BLOOD IN THE CORNER OF HER MOUTH. WHAT TO DO? SHOULD SHE BE OK?? HELP????

first off, no need for the caps, if anything, it makes it more annoying

secondly, was the blood from the mouse, or the snake?

and are you feeding live?

FROM THE SNAKE I THINK

Live sorry

well, try to get it so you can see the mouth, and see if you can see where it might have been bleeding from


**Edit** and you dont want to be feeding live, switch to f/t or p/k

how would i swich, i just got her about a week ago and she is jumpy I don't know if she would let me hold a mouse over her

there is a small cut right underneath the top lip. worry or will it heal

you should have waited to feed her, so she can get used to it all


but you get a frozen mouse from wherever you get your rodent, then you thaw out the mouse, i put them in a plastic bag, and then put them in hot/warm water, for however long it takes, so keep checking it, then get tongs, and hold it in front of her head, and maybe dangle it to make it seem alive


it might not eat right away

so you might ask for a pre killed mouse, which is killed right then and there, so it will still have the scent on it, and do the same with with the tongs

i dont know what to say about the cut, sorry

maybe someone else will know

it is good that it is on her bottom lip and not in her mouth right?? mouth rot??
