So I posted in angst the other night after my boyfriend and I tried to feed our new pastel female after moving her (stupid stupid stupid!) and the mouse attacked her, etc.
Well, we waited until last night but we fed her the dead mouse and she took it! It was her first time being offered F/T and she struck and constricted it...and then tried to eat it backwards.She eventually gave up when she couldn't get past the rear legs, so we put her back in her tank with the dead mouse overnight and by morning she had eaten it! (We put her in a separate tub to feed her as we heard this is a good way to avoid getting bitten when sticking your hands in their tanks).
I feel so relieved that she ate. That must mean she's at least fairly healthy and stress-free, right? lol. I mean, she seems fine, but we have no practical experience with snakes at all.
And on top of all that, she ate F/T instead of live! Hooray!
