So, I have been feeding my new BP once a week since I got her, little baby mice/pre killed, and it's been going alright; I've had her for almost two months now and she has yet to miss a meal - but it normally takes her anywhere from 10-15 minutes to actually go after the mouse and take it down. I practice safe feeding habits by using tongs to gently dance the mouse around near her and put it in the cage .... well last night, she must have been 'in the routine' because I hadn't even let the mouse go, and had it dangling for maybe 3 seconds and she snatched it right out of my tongs.......she's still a bity baby, around 2 1/2 feet, but man o man did I feel the POWER!
