>>yeah, start using rat pups. they're the same size as adult mice but can't harm the snake. you can leave them in there for prolonged periods without supervision or worry. That's how I managed to switch my watersnake over to rodents.

>>Also, instead of using heat lamps, try undertank heat pads that you get from petsmart. only put half of the pad beneath the tank otherwise it may build up too much heat.

>>lamps often dry out the air and if your snake doesn't have the proper humidity, he won't eat.
I have an undertank heat pad with a thermostat as well as the lamps...Temps are as I mentioned...
I'm currently breeding two females and one male mice for future feedings...Plan is to feeding him a couple more times with live ( Yes I know keep an eye on 'em...First two mice he ate started trying to gnaw on him after he attacked so I had to pull on their cute wittle ears o_o; )
Afterwards gonna start thwacking 'em to see if that works...Hope it does...
Thanks for all the advice guys...I really appreciate it as I'm sure my snake does as well ( Yay he has a full tummy )
