Thanks for the quick response. I know y'all think I'm crazy. But I had a lot of "first's" tonight. One of my mandarin just refused to eat. And they have been very aggressive eaters, up until now.

I got bit tonight for the first time, by one of my smaller kings. Drew blood. And then this. I feed all my snakes in the same container. One at a time of course. And I was just being careless.

I pulled the mice out of the zip lock snack bags and it slipped out of my tongs into the container. The snake did not see it and then it took a leaping strike at the bag. A very good strike. Had a mouth full. So I had a hold of it's head with one hand and the bag with the other. He was doing a "kill squeeze" around my wrist. It would not let go for the longest time. So I told my wife to get on the forum to ask what to do. I was a little concerned at the time. I did not want it to rip the bag and swallow plastic, that would not be good. Any way, I know what to do now. Thanks again.
