A question ("A" being one of a million...lol)

How do you introduce the prekilled to the snake when they are used to live. Do you have to do anything special to get them to take it or just leave it to chance?

Okay, scratch that one. I just tried it and he took it this time. I had heard it was hard to get them to switch but I guess not for my little guy.

I normally just make sure mines warm and place it in the feeding tub,,,if after a bit the snake doesnt take it, i get my long tongs and do the mouse dance, that usually does the trick.

Thanks a bunch. I guess I just got it in my mind somehow that it would be more difficult than it actually was. I did have to make the dead mouse mambo to get his attention but it worked...hehe
