As I was feeding my milksnake with rubber coated tongs, she moved so fast for the mouse, I was startled and dropped the mouse. Butters is an albino and a cross between a floridia kingsnake and a honduran milksnake. She was in shed (nice milky eyes) at the time...and well, she missed the mouse and latched on to one end of the tongs. She then tried to eat the tongs. I rushed her over to the batheroom and proceeded to run water over her and the tongs for a while trying to get her to let go. I stupidly tried waving the mouse at her to try and get her to let go and latch onto the mouse. She got excited and continued trying to eat the tongs. After about 15 minutes (give or take, I can't be exact). she finally let go of the tongs. I put her back in her rubbermaid after that. I don't recall if I fed her that night or waited a couple of days later. She doesn't have any problems, although I've seen her so entracted with mouse smell that she has "experimentally mouthed" another section of her body.
