    Re: Just fed bagheera her first adult mouse..

    Is there even a mark? Is she bleeding?

    If not, don't worry about it. All of my Ball Pythons, 50+, are fed live mice. I am sure to pre-scent the room for 30 minutes or so prior to feeding so they know what is going to happen and they can prepare themselves.

    It is incredibly rare that someone gets bit here, if that. It may look like the mouse is biting her, but in reality is just gasping or just has its mouth on the snake's skin.

    Be sure to pre-scent, don't remove any of her hides or disturb her enclosure or her in any way, drop the mouse on the OPPOSITE end of the enclosure that the snake is on, and don't HOVER. I generally open a tub, drop mouse in without getting bit in the face by said snake, and close the tub. On to the next tub, drop mouse in, so on and so forth. The snakes take care of business.
