First feed...

[Roan]

So Nyx has been "home" for a week. I decided to try to feed today. Looking at the size of the suggested mouse and the size of Nyx, I scratched my chin and figured if the snake decided it didn't like it, well, the snake would take care of things. Nyx took the mouse down like a champ, and has now eaten his first meal at home. I moved Nyx to a plastic storage container and introduced a mouse to whatever the equivalent of the great beyond is for them. A couple of minutes later Nyx had made a meal of the moment, and I had my Kodak all along. He's digesting now, and probably in a much happier demeanour now that I've figured out how to properly heat the tank. I went with the live feed because this was the first feed at home and I knew that Nyx was live fed at the store. As I learn more, and we get more comfortable with one another, I'm going to try to move away from live feeds and get in to keeping frozen mice around.
