the mouse is still alive, they have gone to their corners lol, im keeping an eye on it, i'm betting he takes it tonight in the dark,gotta love those ambushes, oh yea its only a hopper so im not too worried about it, now that i think about it i should have just let it hang on till it died but oh well,no damage to the snake i don't think the mouse can get through his scales. if the mouse did damage a scale would it disappear in a couple sheds?
