I dont know if im doing anything wrong, But anyway, I usually go to the petstore around dusk/early night, get the mouse, I put the petstore box with the mouse in it (rats soon, local does it as it goes up, Adult mouse-weanling rats) and leave it in for 10 minutes or so, The snake comes out lays on the box ext.

I turn the box on its side and open it, the mouse comes out, and in about 1 minute hes gone. Usually the snake focuses in on the box and right when its out, its constricted.

When i do switch to rats, I will do the tong method, As of right now, i can stand over the enclosure with a pair of feeding tons (not a rodent kind, but work) and make sure all goes well.

I dont get the massive feeding response adam does, but hes never refused a live, maybe its my snake, or If im missing out on something as far as methods go, or doing something wrong tell me, But it seems to work ATM with 1 snake just on mice.
