Thanks! I heard about prasinus dying from septicema by eating rodents from my friend in the UK who is a retired exotics vet. She sent me the report of what happened and what they found after I told her I bought my pair of gtmonitors. In the report it says the mice were carrying Streptococcus agalactiae which is sometimes present in rodents but not always. There's no way to tell which rodents are carriers so I just don't wanna take the chance. I guess in other species they are able to fight it but prasinus can't and die from septicemia. I know of a lot of people who feed mice to prasinus and never have any issues but I'm a worry wort!
