I bought a few frozen fuzzies and some feeding tongs tonight in hope of feeding my new bp. The little guy has been actively prowling the tank every night after lights out, and I suspect he/she is hungry. Having never owned a snake, all I have to go off of is the research I've been doing, and I have a couple questions you all can probably answer!

When feeding frozen, have you had better success waving the mouse in front of the snake first or simply setting it on the floor of the inclosure?

For the first feeding, should I leave my new snake in its enclosure or go straight to feeding in a separate box?

How long do you typically leave the mouse with the snake before you toss it if the snake has not eaten? I've seen conflicting answers with this. Some say no more than 20 minutes, and I've seen other threads with people leaving the mouse overnight.


Please add any other tips or tricks you may have for getting a snake to eat! Thank you very much!!
