Hi all

I was feeding my python last night and left her with 2 medium mice (frozen/thawed) in the enclosure over night. I woke up this morning to find that one of the prey was in the water bowl!
First time I've left 2 prey items inthe enclosure.

Did this mouse resurect to life... and decide to take a swim - only to realize it can't?!

Or did my snake decide to drown an already dead mouse?
I'm going to take the logical route and think that the snake did this

Why would a snake do this? And how? Did she pick it up with her mouth in an attempt to eat and instead decided to take it to the beach?

Anyone have any insight into this?
