Stupid question

ok the twits I got my snake from said he was being fed killed mice. Ok i buy the mice.


He strikes, lets go and looks at it and slithers into the corner of his feeding tub

what should i try?

Just let it be for now.

oh..thats not a stupid question... :2cent:

You can ask the person you bought the snake from what method he used to feed. Maybe next time you try feeding hold on and gently tug on the mouse' tail for a second so the snake tries harder. That has worked for me when switching from live to f/t. Just give it a week or 2 before trying again.

also...use tongs!

;)

bp's are known to be a lil frisky when it comes to striking!

You can also make sure it is warmer than the surrounding cage. That with a little tugging to make it seem more alive(Jiggle grandpa's rat Johnny) might get him over the hump.
Good luck!!

Thank you everyone! I'm not TOO concerned as he ate last tuesday i think (thats what they told me)

Mom is worried so she wants me to try tonight again


I figure at $.99 per dead mouse i can try again :)


Sorry if all my questions bother you I just want to make sure im doin everything he needs. My mother thinks im actually trying to takgood care of him

the only stupid question is the one that never got asked.

How true. I would rather ask questions and learn, than keep it to myself and lose my beloved pet.

I'm not sure about that...here in Texas people walk around during the 110 degree days of summer asking each other "is it hot enough for you?", and that's a pretty stupid question.

That my friend is called a rhetorical Q. More of a statement that a question.

But hey, I would never leave Texas for an extended period of time. Texan born and raised over here.

Close...I think the fork one and the one with the herring are probably the closest. I think this summer I'm going to have to invest in a bludgeoning herring to carry around with me and bludgeon anyone who asks that question...
