So on Tuesday I went to feed my snakes. My 3 month old BP was in her hide when I lowered the frozen thawed small rat into the tub. Before I knew it her hide went flying up and she missed the rat. When I looked into the hide I could see that she had some of the Reptile Prime substrate stuck in the front of her mouth. I gave her some time to clear it out (which she did) and attempted to feed her again. I tried several times and each time she seemed extremely interested but would not take.
Do you think she didn't take because it was a stressful or maybe it hurt her? She has never missed a meal she is a veracious eater. I am hoping this does not impact future feedings.
I am going to wait until next week to try again or should I try sooner?
Thanks for reading!
