I've got a male normal that is about 6 months old and has ALWAYS eaten like a champ. I feed him f/t mice on a 5 day basis. 3 weeks ago he has started constricting the mouse when I give it to him, but he never actually eats it. Tonight was the third mouse that he has done this to. I grabbed the mouse with my tongs and he struck at my hand which is also very unlike him. He's usually my most docile and best eating snake. So any ideas? Why would a BP continually constrict but not eat the mouse?
