Quick Background
I have a baby BP who we have had for about a month now
First feeding (first time with f/t) went ok, but it took a lot of work to get him to hit the mouse
Second feeding was slightly easier, but took some work. Both times he was in his hide and ambushed the prey
Both times, I let the prey sit in front of the CHE for a few minutes to get warm
Third time I let the mouse sit in the room for 30 minutes or so to scent and then a little touch up under the CHE. He wasnt hiding this time but wasnt really on the prowl so to speak. It only took a few seconds and some dancing for him to hit it this time.
Feeding again last night. Everything the same. As the mouse is warming I notice the snake coming out of his hide and looking around. He then starts coming towards the side of the tank Im on. I no sooner got the mouse into the tank than he hit it. He got the mouse down and then appared to be looking for more. In the past after he gets the mouse down he retreats to his hide and just relaxes. Last night he kept looking around the cage like he was still hungry.
The adult mice are about the same size around as the snake. My next size up for f/t is small rat which seems to be much bigger around than the snake.
Next time should I offer a second mouse if he will take it?
