Well they are only about 18" and when i got them they were 50 grams now they are 60 grams. I was going to bump Kira (the one who takes f/t) to a small mouse maybe a medium if they aren't too big. I am putting them in warm water to un thaw then using the hair dryer/ blowdryer to warm them up.

So far all of my kids love the zombie dance like B said...Kind of fun watching them get interested when they see it to...

it really is fun to watch them kinda look at it like hmmm do i want it then strike at it when they decide they have had enough entertainment lol

When holding the mouse by the scruff of the neck, don't your snakes usually coil up around the tongs as well? After all, at least for my snakes, the neck area is where they usually bite.

Never had that problem but I am using hemostats and if that is happening they slide right out after they strike and coil.
