    Contacted the breeder last night. He said he was feeding at night in low light. Defrost in cold then the hottest tap water then feed. Will try in a couple of days. She was very active last night. Going to the top of the enclosure. Head is constantly sticking out of hide. Wondering if it's hunger stress.

    Just a quick tip, I never dangle the rodent the tail, as this is not how it would approach the snake if it were alive. I use the tongs to hold the sides of the rodent and present it to my snake head first, that way he can strike the head easily
