what on earth has the breeding season got to do with this Brookie?
my obvious reply would be to ask if you'd handled the mouse and therefore still smell mousey? or was the mouse warm enough and it was confusing your heat with the mouse's lack of heat? |

| right this what i was told GP buy a snake breeder. corns,kings and milk snakes all have tempermental behaviour in breedin season. assuming the corn is on its own then it may be gettin frustrated (wouldnt you be if you wanted to "mate" and couldnt) to what extent this is true im not sure but like i said i was told by a breeder this so i believed it was pretty accurate. |

| i would say your fingers were warmer than the prey and it mistaken them. |

no worries hun and sorry if i can across a bit harsh originally.
i'm not saying the info the breeder gave you is wrong but given the info on this particular case (ie. very young corn) i din't think it was particularly relevant  |
