    Should this be done ?

    Some of you may know that i found a teeny tiny little sonoran gopher in my backyard who looked like he was in pretty good health. and he is, he has been doing fine and eating great but for some reason today he doesnt wanna eat today.So after about 45 minutes i took the mouse outta his cage and now my corn ruby is cruising around her cage doing what i call the "gimme food dance" going from side to side and trying to climb the glass wall.

    Since he is a wildcaught snake do you think it would be smart of me to just give his mouse to her, he has been pooping fine and there are no external parasites and no clues of enternal parasites that i can see. I dont wanna pass on anything .....if there is anything of course....has anybody else done this ???

    No.

    Shared prey items is one of the top ways diseases are passed in captive collections of anything.
