eh well....i just gave him the second and he took it without hesitating...he's munchin on it right now. i read some topics on the "gas chamber" and thought it was an interesting way to take a mouse out. i also just found out that the pet store i get my mice from is getting rats in next week yay...gonna try those out. he's over 3 feet long now..but a skinny lil feller (because of mice)..hopefully he'll get nice and fat once i start with the rats.
