Must have been enough, because she grabbed it and squeezed for a while as though she thought it still alive. ...
Thank you, that is actually very helpful! My new BP was not as interested in the first mouse I have offered it (Friday was the first feeding for me) as I would have liked... I have watched some videos, and the feeding response was non-existent compared to them! He also took the F/T mouse backwards. I think perhaps I had the back end warmer than the head. I'm going to feed again tomorrow because my snake is very thin, and I will try your heating method to see if I get a better feeding response.
