Also when you said you tried to feed a mouse and left it in overnight I hope it wasn't a live mouse. Never leave a live mouse in the enclosure unattended as they can hurt the snake. I am sure people are gonna ask you for the following. What type of enclosure? What are your temp? How are you heating? How are you regulating your heat?


    See above post. I was to slow
    Yup I fed the BP a F/T mouse. I put the BP in a 10 gallon glass aquarium tank. Also, I use a heat mat, regulated by a thermostat (set to 90 degrees), to heat up the warm side of the cage.
