As long as shes taking it head first or tail first she should be ok. If she tries to get it down sideways you might have to try and get it away from her. If you want her to start taking it from the head. Dangle the mouse or rat just over her so she can reach it by the tail. So she can strike at its head. Some kind of long tweezers would be good if your worried about her getting your hand. Cause she might. Once she figures out that it goes down better head first she should take it. Was it F/T? If so she will go for the warmest part of the mouse. My corns use to do that alot with there F/T. For some reason the back side was a bit warmer. Hope that help some.
that is great info that you gave thank you so much
I've had one snake that actually got the rat stuck in his mouth, so I would monitor that the prey item has been completely consumed. Usually they do not have those problems, but it's something to watch for. I'm glad that the problem resolved itself.
No kidding? I've never heard of that happening before. How did you resolve that?

I had to physically remove the mouse from his mouth. I checked his mouth and everything seemed fine, and it has never happened again. (it wasn't a large meal, so I STILL have no clue what why it happened) I've haven't run across another person with this issue either.
Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand
