    Question Would you keep her?

    I have this 09 female mojave that was eating rats like candy from the day i got her(several months).Then she went on a 2 month break refusing to eat rats.So i tried feeding her a couple large mice.Well she scarfed them down and wanted more.Well i hate the smell of mice and i am thinking about selling her because of it.So i wondered what would you folks do if this was your female? Now one more thing i got her in the hopes of producing BEL next season(i have a male mojo also) but the mouse stink might change this idea .So vote what you would do.Oh here is a pic of her.

    Starve her for a month or two. Has decent body size on her and just ignore her for a while and should come around.

    Thats pretty much what i did during her 2 month break.I tried feeding her ever other week up until i tried the mice.I even scented a rat pup with mouse smell and she freaked out .Now she is around the 500g weight and has been the whole time on her break.

    If shell eat mice, then feed her mice or rats scented with mice.

    Mouse eaters can get just as big as rat eaters.

    The problem with mice is they STINK .I would rather have a thousand rats in the house then 3 mice .So they are costing me $2 a mouse and thats crazy in my book

    Re: Would you keep her?

    I mean if you want to keep her, just keep her on rats. If she is healthy she is not going to starve herself. Eventually she will eat. Assuming that everything else is ok, "aka happy snake".
