But the mouse was kind of small (only about half the size of his girth at his thickest point) so I left a second one in front of his warm hide. It was gone in the morning! He's been in the warm hide going on 4 days now... Is that normal? Also, I'm using indented kraft paper w/ some aspen bedding sprinkled in the hides and around the water bowl. I think I'm going to get rid of the aspen all together because of impaction risks. Any thoughts on that? I can't wait to start handling him! Should I only handle him at night???? I'm taking him to the vet next Tuesday. I'm going to use a 12Qt rubbermaid tub w/ newspaper on the bottom for transport... Is it okay that I don't have any portable heat for the trip? Thanks for your help everybody; I just want to treat this little guy right.
Rock on! Sounds like you have done an excellent job researching and getting things right for your snake!
