Her hiding places are snug. She fits perfectly into them. Temps are all sufficient. I use a digital and regular thermometer to measure them.

I only put the mouse in there when I am able to spend time around the tank, because I don't want any biting to take place. (My friends unattended ball python got its EYES eaten out by a rat).

It was a really small mouse, in a giant, ventilated pickle jar. Haha. I didn't have some giant rat in a tiny pickle jar. I fed it, gave it water, etc.

As for my snake, I handle her everyday, it's been about three/four days in attempting to get her to eat, the only thing that's changed is her environment. She's had to switch tanks twice.
