julius with a mouse.. she hit it weird

is it normal for her to miss every now and then when she strikes? the first month or so i had her, she never missed - now she does every now and then.

she got this mouse in its back.. is this okay?

to be honest, i thought she wasnt even going to eat it.. she did though

ooh scary- is the mouse biting her? i'm really never worried about how crowley gets his prey its just where their teeth are in respect to where his body is. if they can bite 'em they get a good neck snapping.

when i feed mine a live mouse, i like to make sure it is in the hide, then i dangle the mouse facing the opposite direction so the snake grabs at it behind the head or in the neck area

It does look like the mouse is alive! :(

thats exactly what she/i did

that mouse was stunned so it was not biting her.. i did check to make sure though :)

i was ready with a pen and an xacto knife

I don't want to hi-jack your thread, just need a quick question answered. What exactly is "stunning" the prey?

giving it a good knonk on the head. most of the time it knocks them out. I use a spoon to stun my mice. but I really dont know of any other way to stun a mouse, well flicking it on the head works too, but 8 times out of 10 it dies from the flick.

i read a website to grab em by the tail and hit their head on a counter top

eh i don't like "stunning"...i prefer the "put it in a pillow case and swing for a home run" method....making damn sure it's dead
