I can agree with that. If the breeder already had him started on rats, I would suggest trying a live rat pup before offering a mouse. If he refuses the rat, you can always feed it off to one of the other snakes, and then try mice.

Please don't ever put duct tape inside a reptile enclosure. They are notorious for finding a way to detach it from it's purpose and attaching to themselves instead!

To the OP - Very pretty babies you have there! Welcome!

Thanks again everybody.

Vypyrz, if I can find an appropriately sized rat pup I'll definitely do that. Might be tough though around here.
