well last time she ate it was one of those awful f/t mice took her a minute to adjust to being in the feeding container, but she hit the mouse like lightning (after the tail fell off ugh ) and it took the a while to get it down ( i almost thought she would give up it looked so big... ), she spent a few minutes readjusting her jaw, and i had to rinse the mouse goo off her. gently put her back in the tank where she made her rounds inspecting the cage (just in case any intruders moved in while she was away. then settled in for a two day snooze. i let her have an extra day cause the mouse was so big, and i think that might have had something to do with it (probably not) i handle her every day except for the 48 hours after feeding, this time it was 72 maybe 96 and she was a bit cool to me, so to speak. tonight after i wrote the post i handled her again and she was back to her old self, checking things out, looking around, curious, etc. when she went into the tank the went into her hide for a bit, but is now basking on a tree limb under the moonglow bulb. so basically back to normal (for her. but thanks for he posts, i guess there can be several kinds of normal, for any given snake.

thanks
