...snakes don't have ears....

Perhaps some pictures with a reference for size would be able to help us out.

If you go to http://www.rodentpro.com/catalog.asp...el=frozen_mice, and then using their guide, tell us what size mice he is eating on.

Do you have a weight yet?

She's been eating large adult mice, and this past feeding, we fed her 2 of them.

They don't have ears, so they can't hear a thing. She was probably responding to scent, vibrations, heat, and movement - key stimuli in triggering a snake's feeding response.

Well I knew it couldn't have been the scent or movement, though I appreciate you pointing those thigns out to me. Come to find out though, she was getting ready to start her shedding, and she was just a bit grouchy. I appreciate everyones help :)
