    I'm pretty sure he didn't actually eat the moss. Even if it smelled of rodent, it gives of no heat signature.

    He is just HUNGRY and still in feed mode. Not the time you want to mess with him to check what he ate. If his head is sticking out of his hide and his face / mouth looks fine, he is just fine.

    He is still looking for food. Are you feeding with long tongs or dangle the mice by the tail with your hands? I highly recommend you get long hemostats and use those for feeding. You can then hold the rat/mouse behind the head and present to the snake without dangling it. Either way, you won't have to drop it.

    Or just lay them down in front of the hide.

    I bet your boy is just fine, he was just hungry still. Lift the hide tomorrow and check on him, and let us know
