ok so last night i got home real late and decided to feed Bradley. I opened up his tub and he is just starting to turn blue. i didn't think anything of it because he ALWAYS eats (once in deep blue, a f/t WET rat ) so I got a rat, killed it, and started playing puppet master. he struck like 10 or 12 times but wouldnt coil. well apparently i did not kill the rat and merely stunned it so the poor thing started to wake up! it started screaming and trying to get off of the tongs i was using and scared the crap out of Bradley as he is used to his prey not really moving...so i killed the rat (again) and made sure it was really out this time and tried to feed again. He balled up and wouldn't move and showed no interest. so im not allowed to keep dead rodents in the freezer because my roommates think its gross which is fine so i had to throw the rat out which is a waste and i guess i'll just try to feed again next week! prolly wait til after he sheds....
