Thanks for your replies guys and gals to my surprise my ball python ate the thawed mouse after i covered his feeding bin with a t shirt and left him in the mute darkness. I came back 1 hour later and the mouse was gone. I am still shocked he just ate it, I thought he would make me work for it jk... after two years of eating pure live mice he just ate a thawed one in 1 hour. But than again,,, what the hell do I know.
