    The pet store I got her from was giving her live pinkies, I started her immediately with f/t fuzzies. She's a funny feeder. Usually I have to put her in the tub and cover it with a towel and leave her alone for her to feed. But she has struck a couple times, the first time she struck, she immediately dropped it, kind of like she surprised herself! Tho this latest feeding was the third time she's refused food.

    She may have refused the f/t small mouse cause it was black. I do think it's the right size for her, but she doesn't, and since she's still being a finicky feeder, I'm not gonna argue with her.

    And to put this back on ball pythons, Paradox got the rejected mouse, which she struck at twice and missed twice before she hit it the third time. All my snakes seem to do better with white mice for some reason.
