Before I say any thing I want every one to know that I don't want this thead to get ugly (as they some times do) I just have a question for people a little more experinced than me. I feed one live mouse a week to my female bp, and I keep a close eye on her until she is done eating. This week when I dropped the mouse in it grabbed her on the back right away I put my tongs between its mouth and her back. Then she grabbed the mouse's head (as she usualy does) and constricted. Then she let go before the mouse was dead and tryed to eat it, and it bit her again on the face. She made the mouse let go right away. It wasn't a "bad" bite (no blood or pulled back scales). She was on live when I got her as a baby and has never had a proublem till now. This is her first bite and I want it to be her last, but I don't want to switch her to f/t (I think it might be a bit stressful for her and I've had problems in the past with f/t). My question is; are there any "tricks" to poblem free live feeds? I know Adam you said you feed all of yours live without a bite or scratch, how do you do it? I think I reacted quickly and appropitly. I just don't want my baby geting hurt again. Ayn suggestions would be greatly appreacited!
