Hi Rhiannon, have you tried feeding your snake frozen/thawed mice? It takes away the risk of your snake being injured by the mouse plus you reduce the risk of passing worms and other parasites onto your snake.

You should get it on to thawed/frozen, or at least freshly killed asap - the risk of feeding live to your snake is far too great. 99.5% of pythons will take thawed stuff wih a bit of initial encouragement.

When was the last time it fed and has it ever taken thawed prey before?

Hi Rhi,
Have you been into the St Kilda Aquarium? They used to sell snakes in there and the owners June and Warren (hope I remembered that right - haven't been in there for ages lol) had a fair bit of knowledge and may be able to help you out. It's worth a try anyway if you're in the area and don't have a car!  | |
