Good thing there wasn't money involved.

Today is mouse day I think. Hopefully they got some in.

Took the biggest mouse that was there. The mouse bit the hell out of me too. She took revenge rather quickly.

I just went to check to see if she had it down yet and she has another one partly down.

I would not put more than one mouse in there at a time. The snake is totally defenseless when it already has one critter in it's mouth. I never offered more than one at a time, but I have heard/read of instances where additional critters (mice, rats) in the tank during feeding have attacked the snake.

She was almost all of the way done when I put the other one in for the other one to eat. She is just a hog apparently.

Take one out and the other will not eat. Take the smaller one out and the big one becomes antisocial until the small one is returned. They appear to be quite fond of each other.

I worry if they both eat the same one, big one eats little one, both dead. Seen it! Imagine a 30# boa with a rabbit and a 12# boa inside.... Ughhh....

Not worried about the mice. They ain't shit. Rats on the other hand.... Never two weaned rats in a cage at a time.

Any chance you can get a closer pic of the top and one side of her head? Even if it's just a crop of the raw pic. We can look at head scales and oculars.

Not on the prairie king. I can't tell. Does your snake have this feature?

I had my head in my duffle bag when I said that. I just wanted to show you what a pig she is now that she started eating on a regular basis.
