I have an order of mice on the way from perfect prey and blood/stool heading out to the lab for her tests. Been a busy 24 hours for this snoot, kinda surprised she ate!

Happy Dance! But I'm not surprised at all...I love corn & rat snakes- they don't use rodents as furniture. :rofl: Two smaller mice is actually perfect for her.
You did great! :gj: (well, so did she...or he?) Hoping her stool comes back clean, but even if it's not, it's probably an easy fix.

Nice! I'm glad she ate right away!!
Great job!

Smart to be doing tests to make sure she's healthy.

Very happy she nailed two F/T mice for you! Great sign both health wise, and also, Yay for eating F/T.

I can't say I am surprised though. She's a corn snake! They love food!

Still good all around.

I can't remember if you said earlier in the thread, but she's quarantined, correct?

Until you know she's A-okay, it's a must.

Awesome update and please continue to keep is in the loop!

She us as far from the python as she can be in a 700 sqft apartment. She has her own feeding tongs and supplies. I'm the only one it the house dealing with her and for now my fiance is the only one dealing with the python. Other than the tank she came in, everything else was thrown away before it got the chance to come in the house.

I've got 2 people already interested in her. Also, this is really good QT practice for when I get my next ball (fingers extra crossed that it's waiting to hatch right now and the odds gods are with the breeder and me lol)
