    Feeding Question

    So my male is really eatting well, without issues. Im feeding frozen thawed adult mice once a week. Yesterday I went to feed him, using my tongs. he went for my hand instead of the mouce. I pulled away dropping the mouse in his tub. I closed the tub and watched. then he strikes the front of the tub where im watching him about 3 times.

    he eventually found the mouse and ate.

    Now could the reason for this be, that I didnt heat the mouse up enough and he couldnt pick up the heat from it? Or mabey is once a week not enough for him. he is around 90grams. just a juvi BP

    I know I'm not that knowledgeable about snakes but yours is around the same size of mine and i feed a medium mouse to him once a week and he has a good size lump in him. You would probably have to check if you need to feed every five days or so. But my guess is you aren't heating it up enough. How do you warm the mouse? Do you have a temp gun? Mine likes them around 90 degrees F which is the normal mouse body temp with the head being warmer.
