Fist off, I would like to thank the people whom made this web site possible, I have spent the last few days trying to make my 20gal tank a suitable home.
So, I went to the pet shop today after work to get a ceramic heat source, b/c I now know ball's don't like lights on all the time! I also decided it was time for the first feeding and went walking around the pet shop looking for a mouse. I found them, and to my suprise I kinda felt guilty buying one only for food, but oh well. driving home I couldn't help but feel like I was doing something wrong with my little mouse scratching at his box. LOL.
I get home and very carefully take Merle out of his tank and place him in a shoe box with his hide. I let him get settled, and drop the mouse in........the mouse runs strait to him, and WHAM..he hits it hard in a matter of seconds! I was shocked, he must have been hungry. I gave him some time to eat, and put him back in the cage to chill for a few days.
So, first time seeing a snake eat and it was pretty cool. sorry little Mouse....lol.![]()
