As soon as she struck, I grabbed her back half and dumped her into the cage and zipped it up. Good thing I did it quick because she released her mouth from the rat almost immediately. whew! (I should say "we" because my wife was kind enough to help even though she's not a snake person).

Anyway, now the cage is covered with a sheet in the back yard for the moment. I'm going to give her a chance to finish if she wants to before I transfer her back into her normal enclosure.

Let me wind down for a few and I'll post some of the pictures before she found the hole - they're cool!

Thanks for the suggestions!
