I checked a few hours later & there was the mouse, right where he left it. So.....mouse down the toilet & we'll try again today or tomorrow. Henry the schnauzer will be outside this time!
Yes, definitely keep the dog away from the snake. Snakes and other pets don't mix.

As f9r feeding, don't offer again for a week. Offering too often can stress the snake and lead to more refusals.
