He was spitting out anything larger. |

Anyway, i have mice here if you want one to try. |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: May-04 Location: Nowhere with NoOne:) | | | | LOL, yes already tried that. At that time, he liked to kill, and I covered him after he killed it, but when I would check the next day the dead mouse was still there, this was repeated many times until I got sick of wasting mice. I'm hoping it's the shed that has been the problem. HE has been unusually cuddly and docile of late. |

He was always reluctant to eat when coming up for a shed with me (well, most snakes are actually.) | | |
