Re: I need help! snake vs mouse

@Aaron
My Rosy Boa only eats live. He ate f/t once, but completely refuses to do so again.

Every time I bring a feeder mouse home and put it in the feeding bin with the snake, it definitely knows instinctively that the snake is a predator. Even before the snake strikes, the mouse goes up to it, sniffs it, then immediately runs into the corner rattling its tail (not sure what that means). The mouse then usually sits there frozen and terrified. If the snake moves, the mouse flips right the heck out.

I have rarely seen a mouse fight back, however. Only when Boaz has attacked and started constricting does the mouse try to bite, but by then it's usually too weak to do so.
