I left them sitting out :\

Throw them out. It's not worth the possible trouble and vet bill it could bring for 3 mice. You are talking like $6. And if you want a big bill, pay my snake food bill lol. I still havent picked up a chest freezer so i pay about $100 a month in food for the snakes alone. Then i got a hornworm addicted beardie lol.

I need to get a job. I'm 16 but I'm so terrified of driving I freeze up and my mother is so busy she's almost unreliable so I likely wouldn't have a ride to work. Anyways, for me, a box (4 pack) of large mice is 15 dollars, and while it's not much, it always sucks having to ask mom for money because I have none. I definitely agree that it's better than taking him to the vet though. The only reptile vet in town is pretty expensive just for a general checkup too. I'm gonna give the mice to the stray cat outside and see about asking my mom for money to buy mice again this weekend. Hopefully I won't forget them on the counter this time lol. Man I really need a job!!!

Lol i hear ya. People say reptiles are cheap...they lied. It's like how people say bearded dragons are a beginners pet. They arent. They require all the lighting and vitamins and varied fruits, veggies and insects.

In my experience the snake either eats right away (within seconds or a few minutes) or refuses the food. I have never left a rodent for long and had the snake eat hours later. It has always been now or never.

The problem was that I had left out the other three mice. Like I fed him one from the box, and I forgot to put the others back in the fridge and had left them sitting out. But I have had him strike and wrap around a mouse and then just leave it alone for a bit and come back later.
