I have a Blood python that doesn't constrict its F/T mouse. It just casually slithers up to it and swallows it. I do heat up the mouse with a heat lamp. I was wondering if anyone has seen this behavior before. The snake eats fine, at least once a week. The snake is about 5 Months old. I took a 10 year break from snake keeping. I am looking to get back into it and start breeding some bloods. I have tried everything to encourage her to constrict her food, but nothing I do works. I mean should I try to get a live mouse and kill it right before feeding her? Honestly I don't think this is an issue since the snake is eating just fine. I was just curious if anyone else has seen this before?
