So today I was feeding Cali (original name for a california kingsnake, I know) and as I checked how thawed the mice were I noticed something strange.
One of the mice felt all stiff, as if it was full of some hard substance, yet it was not at all cold. I've never felt anything like it from a frozen thawed feeder before. Could it have been incorrectly preserved somehow? Not knowing what to make of it, I (likely foolishly) still offered it to Cali.
Well Cali seemed to think something was up with it. She ate the normal frozen thawed mouse just fine but wouldn't touch the strange one.
Unfortunately I didn't save the body or try to dissect it, didn't think to do so until I had already flushed the mouse down the toilet on impulse. So without being able to provide anything beyond the information I just did, I was still curious if anyone here might have any ideas as to what might have been wrong with it?
