well last night i traded 2 degu's for 5 white mice (3 females, 2 males...well 1 male now) a female albino dumbo rat and a male rex. put one of the male mice in with the snake and it took a few minutes but she finally took him.

i was comparing the 2 critters and the hamsters are quite a bit fatter than adult mice so i think that may have been why the snake wouldnt take it. the hamster was at least 1/2" wider than the widest spot on the snake. ill ask the local shop if they will do a trade...

it seemed like she had a really hard time letting go of the mouse last night too. her bottom teeth seemed caught in the fur and it was obvious she couldnt get it off. it took a few minutes for her to finally get it free before she chowed down. first time ive seen this, is it normal?

oh ya...i woke up to a fresh shed in her hide this morning when i got her a few months ago she was skinny like a corn snake and weighed 120grams at 22" long or so. she is now slightly longer but weighed in at 233 grams 6 days after her last feeding. ill weigh her again before the next feeding. im glad to see that shes healthy like she should be.
