| not meaning to cause a debate, but apparently black mice do have a different scent to white mice, dont know why but with one of mine, she will strike feed with white mice but after abit of playing, with a black mouse she will hit it straight away |

So by that theory, every mouse that isnt white or black must smell different, browns ones, blue ones, grey, etc..
Apparently there are people out there that will tell you something just to see if you beleive it.
The biggest smell difference is down to how they were killed, gassing leaves a bit of a smell, strong enough for me to smell it, obviously banging them on the head doesnt, unless you repeatedly bash its head against something smelly. |

| I thought the only actual differences in smell other than environmental differences is between males and females but that is a very small difference and is more pheremones in their urine than anything else. I'm pretty sure this difference doesn't have any baring on snakes eating though. |
