I always wiggle the mouse around after smoo's struck at it but she just keeps on munching it down slowly, she must be too smart & realise that its just me wiggling it. Will definatly keep trying tho xD

he constricted again tonight!! i know i shouldnt be feeding him inside his faun but i made sure no substrate was eaten. i think i'll be feeding him outside his faun next week and i'll try to film it! :D though i have some pinkies left that i need to use up so he may not constrict those..

anyway, here's a pic of tonight :)



markus, try heating the mouse up with a hair dryer before feeding it to your mouse (if you havent already tried). i did that tonight and smokey struck at it like he's never struck before :D epic!

Flat, do what above said, warm it up for 10 seconds with a hairdryer and wiggle it a couple of inches away from the head. My baby constricted the 3rd eat, but always strikes. Albeit rather feeble with the constricting but I'm sure it;ll get better lol.

little snakes do have a tendency to not constrict in comparison to older snakes.

But wiggling the mice about a bit can encourage them to strike and constrict.
