Alright so in the end he eventually got down the first one (the water bowl one) but since it dropped in the water, it got a little bedding on it and it took him awhile. I waited until the first mouse was almost past halfway when I introduced the second. Went to his hide after smelling the second, no interest at all. I imagine the discomfort of swallowing aspen bedding put him off his appetite. punctured the skull and left it in front of his hide. I'll check on it in a few hours to see if he took the second by then.
I am curious now that i've seen him do this multiple times, Does anyone else have experience with their snake trying to follow the tongs up to your hand rather than just go for the mouse immediately? I'm using tongs obviously but both times he's been fed he looks up from the mouse and starts moving towards my fingers, I raise the tongs and he keeps going to the point of him not striking the mouse until he's halfway in the air of his enclosure. Do I just stay still and trust he isn't going to strike my hand or what. I don't touch the f/t with my hands ever, I use the tongs to remove them from the bag, dry them with the dryer, and feed him.
