One of my friends feeds live and I witnessed him doing it once. His BP constricted around the mouse until it was dead then let go. That's when my friend grabbed the mouse and reheated it's head by holding it in front of the lamp for few minutes (someone already suggested this) and put it back in front of the BP who happily chowed down the mouse. He told me he does that so that the BP always eats head first.
hmmm. i like that, but when you say "let go" what do you mean because my BP doesnt really let go, he will unravel himself, but his jaws never leave the mouse.??????????????? should i rip it away from him ?
