Laura, the tip that Jenea described has worked for me as well. Also I've found that putting a toad or frog in the enclosure for just a few seconds and then using the bait and switch method has also been effective. I believe the vibrations of the toad hopping around stimulates a feeding response, kind of a feeding "frenzy". It's funny to watch the snake crawl around biting the air. Then it's pretty easy to just hold the mouse in front of the snake. Good luck. Kevin
