My hoggie didnt eat for 6 weeks then one day just started eating again. I put it down to him being a horny male!

It is most certainly a she...and she is under a year old hatched fall of last year I think.

The way she is being hissy and strikey all the time makes me think she is stressed...which is why I don't handle her at all.

No, but I know people that have.

The car ride one I have heard can work but the cell phone one sems very odd. I would have thought that would stress a snake out. How many people have tried this and has it worked?

There's someone on another forum who did this, it worked for them beautifully

The vibration is what causes it, makes the mouse seem alive.

Not sure what to say about those first 2 statements... But good luck....

Try putting the cellphone INSIDE the mouse next time. (DON'T)

I feed with long tweezers and one thing i have done to attract the snake to the plate that the f/t prey is on is to vibrate the tweezers and then touch the plate - the vibration certainly attracts the snakes!!

I just discussed the brown paper bag method with someone the other day , and yes it did work , also a great reason to buy a bottle of wine
