Blood lovin on mice?

ronald_durst Nov 09, 2005 08:05 PM

Ok so i got this beauty. Her name is JJ. Well shes my roommates but i pretty much take care of her. We have 4 others snakes in the house and they all eat very well. JJ, however seems to think her mice are teddy bears. Even alive, she jus nudges it like shes lovin on it. She looks like she feel sorry for it or somethin. So we then kill it and even after its dead we have to aggrevate her with it. And then she'll finally go for it. Im not sure if this is normal blood behavior or what but ive never seen a snake do this before. Ive checked temps, humidity and so on. Its all good. We took her to a vet he said she was fine and gave us some dewormer which im not to sure about. and we never gave to any of our snakes so dont worry. any ideas?
