Well I have attempted to feed my BP a mouse for the second time. He shows absolutely no interest in F/T or even freshly killed (by him). So I figured I'd give it another shot but within 30 seconds of dropping the mouse inside the cage, my once lively and energetic snake becomes a reclusive ball hiding under his log. The mouse eventually settles into the hide on the opposite side of the tank.

So there are two observations I have made.

-1. When there is a dead mouse or rat in the tank, the snake will crawl around, over, and right on by without looking at it twice.

-2. With a live mouse in the tank, he moves straight into one of his hides and stays there.

-3. As mentioned in another thread, he has recently killed prey, but refused to eat it.

This doesn't seem like a natural response.

I'd like to add that the mouse has not attacked the snake, atleast not under my watchful eye.

On a side note: How do you take care of a mouse? I don't want to just let it die, or let it loose in a neighborhood already infested with field mice.
