Re: I need some moral support here people
Hopefully you realize that the mice do not suffocate or die some horrible, awful death. When the snake constricts, the blood stops flowing, most importantly to the brain. After 8-10 seconds, the mouse is unconscious and from then on, feels nothing.
I know I would definitely want to die by constriction than having to die in a car accident. Fast death vs slow death.. hmmm..
So! It's really like fainting is to us. It's not all that unpleasant, maybe a bit weird feeling.
The main thing is to get her eating and get her happy about eating. After a few weeks of consistent meals, you might try switching her to f/t again. All of mine eat live mice(43 Ball Pythons, and a Short Tail Python). It makes me feel better to know that the mice were very well cared for before they were fed off. I give them wholesome food, clean, plentiful water, clean and soft bedding to sleep in, treats to eat, pecan branches to chew on. I know they at least had a good life while they were here, and know they are as healthy as I can make them.
Does that help any?
