Well she ate the live mouse. But I'm going to try a f/t in a few days because I have a ton of them and my guy Akeda will eat the f/t if she doesnt. I'm hoping that this sparked her interest in eating so maybe a f/t will be more appetizing. This was my first time ever feeding live, and it wasn't as bad as I had thought. The mouse was really young and it barely knew what was going on. It looks like the mouse barely had its eyes open. I thought that I would have felt bad about "killing" an animal, but I don't feel bad at all. I feel relieved that my snake ate and finally has a full belly.
