Ok, I have had the BRB for a week now. I tossed in a small hopper and he went for it, but now its been almost 2 hours, and the snake is just sitting there with the hopper's head in his mouth. The hopper isn't too big as far as I have learned. Any ideas? Is this normal?

Titus,
. It is hard to know for sure why the snake is not eating. My best guess would be that the snake is shy and that lights and movement are keeping it from relaxing and swallowing the mouse.
Good luck,
Jeff

Ok, so I have never seen anything like this before. He finally decided to finish eating, and swallowed the hopper. Thats defenitely a new story in my book. Thanks for the help.
