The snake is a albino female.

she ate the first time I tried to feed her, 4 days later she puked up her mouse.

I am trying to feed her live this time, but she will not eat. (she did take the F/T the first time. should I put the hopper rat down then rub the snakes head with the dead rat until it strikes it? Or will that stress it out?)

She did tag the live hopper rat 1 time, but she did not coil around it.

I am located in Thornton, Colorado.

The snake did end up pulling its head out of the water, it just looked really weird.

The mouth was wide open, and it was moving its jaw, and bubbles were comming out of its mouth. (while under water)
