Feeding Question???

domingos Sep 15, 2008 09:20 PM

My BP has struck at a pre-killed mouse and constricted it, as usual, with a head shot. However, once it lets go of the constriction, it seems confused and looks around for the mouse (I feed it in a small plastic container - "shoebox". It has taken the mouse (twice in a row) by the backside and really struggles to get it down.

Is there something wrong?
