Last night was the first time my husband fed our snake, including doing the prep on the F/T mouse. When I saw what was offered to Clark, who was happily constricting away, my first question was if he weighed that mouse. Turns out he thawed the biggest one in the package, which was more like a weaned than a hopper, and I knew instantly that it was too big. Still, we waited about an hour, at which point he hadn't made an attempt to actually eat the mouse. So I had my husband go in with tongs and retrieve the mouse from Clark. Boy was he pissed! Snapping at the air, going WTF, where did my dinner go... Long story short, we offered a more appropriately-sized mouse. He took it instantly and it was eaten within 10 minutes.
