After that, we haven't handled her, except to take her out to feed her in a seperate container. The blanket is on there because my local store told me to cover her up. I've come to the conclusion they are dummies. Should I take the blanket off then? Also, my gf refuses to feed live, and it's really her snake, but I care for it. I could breed the mice, but how long is their gestation period. My other snake is already moving up to fuzzies. Is it really easy to sex and breed mice? Hope my answers help. Thanks again Joe. Oh, and it's been 4 weeks since I've bought her. I try feeding her in her tank now as well.
Nice to read you are calm now .Are you sure your girlfreind is not handleing her? The pet store is in need of a clue lol.Yes take the blanket of of her enclosure,this might be why she is still scared.Think about it if you were in a box with a blanket over it and all of a sudden someone pulled the blanket back and all you see is bright lite with someone reaching to grab you.Would you freakout? I would lol.Give her 5 days with no handleing or disturbed only for water changes,then try her and the pinky in the deli cup.Place the deli cup( with them inside) inside her enclosure.Make sure the delicup is not on the heat mat.Leave them alone for a half hour then check them,if not ate yet leave for another half hour.Let me know how it goes.I am sending positive words to the snake to eat
