no more mice, should be on rats now, and tongs to make sure your hands aren't in the picture. he will see a larger heat source, and go for the hands.

I used to move my snakes into a "feeding box", but I am getting better results while they are in their bins/environment. I don't use tongs yet, but I have never been bitten.

increase your meals though to rats, just weigh your snake, then do the proper percentage for him/her.
