Hi! I have a high white albino desert king snake that I got about three months ago. At first he was a great eater. I'd take him out and dangle a thawed fuzzy and he'd take it quickly. After a month or so, he stopped and wouldn't eat for three weeks. So, the third one he refused, I left in his tank on a flat surface so it wasn't on the substrate which is shavings. Next morning it was gone and he had a nice mouse sized lump in his belly. So last night, a week later, I did the same. Put it in the tank on the same safe flat large surface. I checked at 0420 when we got the school closing call and he had just taken it and was just starting to eat it. However, he had pulled it onto the substrate. Now, the mouse was not moist at this point, so I doubt he ingested any shavings from them sticking to him, but it concerns me. Should this worry me or do you think it's OK? If it is worrisome, any suggestions?
