Got it. I will try again on tuesday night. Like I said, when I tried the first time he followed it all over the place like he wanted to eat it, but never did. The other thing I was concerned about was the size of the mouse. My snake is about as big around as a quarter and about 20" long. The mouse is about the same size around if not a tiny bit larger. From what I read on other posts, this shoud be cool right? Thanks.
