I'm thinking he is holding out for that other snake (I had a towel up so he couldn't see the snake, but I'm imagining he must have been able to smell the other guy). One day he'll get hungry enough for the mice again.

I always make sure I wash out the containers and my hands when switching from snake to snake and I'm guessing from now on, you will too. It's better to be clean and safe than sorry in case there's mites you haven't noticed or something... but that's crazy, didn't think they'd go so nuts that they'd bite themselves! Glad you were able to calm him down.
Yeah I am usually OCD about cleaning and stuff because I have multiple creatures living with me. Last night I just wasn't thinking. I had no idea what to do but just went off what seemed logical. I'm glad it worked too. I love the names of your babies by the way!!
