So im minding a gerbil for a friend of mine. Though i'd handle the snakes beside the cage he was in (to see what would happen :P )
-yes, im a terrible owner!
So they should have been hungry cause they're getting fed this evening. Only they didnt even notice him hardly! He was out running around and everything, and neither of the snakes so much as flicked their tongue at him. Even though they were only about a foot away from him...! Why?? |

| They would have known they were there, that's for sure. Probably a bit busy been handled by you to think about hunting down a mystery rodent. |

A gerbil would smell different to a mouse, so maybe they didn't recognise the gerbil as food- especially if it was moving about when they are used to grub being dead as a doornail 
Our hamster has been living amongst the snakies for ages now and none of them pay her any particular attention when they are out. |

An ex of mine had a burmese python years ago that had been fed live food from hatching. He managed to get it onto frozen food eventually.
The first time he fed him though was with a live hamster and it took 2 days for him to show any interest in it. Till then the hamster even slept on the snake!! Must have pushed its luck in the end though as one morning he was gone. |

It wouldn't be like that Eeji - if our hamster got that close to one of our snakes then she'd definitely eat the poor slithery! She's a feisty little critter  |

| I took a bite off a pregnant hamster once, you could hear her teeth hit the bone. Was sore to say the least and took about a minute to get her to release my finger. |

| Hamsters are evil! Gerbils however, are lovely:) I didnt really have any intentions to actually let either of the snakes eat it! |

| I think most rodents are pretty evil- if they aren't biting fingers they are usually trying to escape to bite through your telephone cable |
