I have had my snake for a week now so I tried to feed it yesterday but I messed it up. I was using a thawed mouse of appropriate size heres what I did.
I thawed it out, then I laid it on top of her cage to pre scent it. 15 minutes later I cam back and she was out of her hide and looking at the mouse. so I took my tongs and grabbed the mouse held it a few inches away from her. She struck at it and missed and I accidentally dropped the mouse right next to her. she for some reason could smell it but not see it(not hot enough maybe?) and I couldn't get close enough to get it because she could strike me if she wanted to. so I left it for a while and she never ate it then I decided to take the mouse out and I think I scared her.
so my question is should I try to feed her again today(first time yesterday) or should I wait a week or what? any help would be great her initial feeding response was great and I hope I don't mess her up. thank you.
