What size mice are you feeding him?
I'm feeding him adult mice. They are being purchased from a local pet store and are about the half the size of a juvenile rat. The rat just looks to big for him right now.

I'm sure that he is just thinking I'm food. I didn't do anything different tonight then I did every other time I've fed him or taken him out.

I think I'll continue with frequent feedings every 4 days or so. I don't want to get tagged so hopefully he is cool from now on. I'm going to be out of town for a while and my brother will be doing the feedings, I'm hoping he doesn't get tagged. I'll be feeding him on Wednesday (4 days from this current feeding) and my brother will feed him twice while I'm gone.

If I decide to feed in his enclosure instead of a different tank how can I do it best? I never did it because I was concerned the mouse would be harder to catch and would end up hiding in a spot where the snake wouldn't bother him.

Thanks.
