just thought id throw this out to you see what you think. my snakes been staying in her hind just about alll the time for id say last 2 weeks, ill handle her and seems fine. not as active but still ok, when i put her back. shell drink water and go back in the hide. she shed um.. friday, ate a small mouse saturday night, would have ate another but when she bite at it, she hit the tongs and i think it scared her. but still sticking to that same pattern. i just wanted to see what everyone might have though.
