I have had this BP for about 3 weeks and she only ate once. The other two offerings were rejected. I bought an adult frozen mouse the first time, she did not take it. A week later I offered a frozen hopper and she took it. The other day, her next feeding day I offered a frozen adult again and again she did not take it. I was told by the seller that she eats adults and she certainly looks like she can put away an adult mouse. The question is the following. If the frozen mouse is not taken, can I re-freeze it? I've thrown away (gave to the crows in back yard) the previous rejected mice, but it seems very wasteful. Can I re-freeze the thawed out mouse to offer later or is that asking for trouble? I am a newb at this, please help. I am not terribly worried about her not eating, because she is a very healthy and friendly snake and she is adjusting to the new environment in my home. I am also trying to figure out all the things newbies need to figure out. This forum is excellent for that, thanks! But this means I am changing things in her cage fairly often. I have settled on the hides, so that hasn't changed, but I am fiddling with heat sources, thermostats, etc. I handle the snake daily (I REALLY like that part) and she seems perfectly calm and happy. I think she will probably settle into a good feeding pattern at some point. In the meantime I do not want to waste so many mice.
thanks!
P.S. Here she is: Isis.
