Congrats. I would go with what works. If that means no zombie dance then go for it!

Thanks. Going with what works does seem sensible. Here's to hoping it really does work every time.

I was totally surprised when my BP didn't strike or coil either. I did the dance with the mouse for about 5 minutes (I m lacking in the endurance that you had lol). I decided to wait until her head turned in the direction of the mouse and set it down. She just took it in her mouth and went to town.

I asked a couple of ppl here about this and have come to the conclusion that you kinda have to stick with what works. Snakes are their own being and the wonderful part of owning one is learning their personality and what works for the individual snake.

In my novice opinion, I would stick to what worked for Freddie. Maybe putting the snake in the hide is what he preferred

Thanks for the input. I'll try it again and hopefully he'll take it again.
