is Raising feeder mice for you?

Oh, I see how he escaped. It's called "Lori can be VERY blonde some days". If you feed and water them and then leave the top off the tank....

Well that's an effective way to lose a rat. XD

so let your ball python out for a while- problem should be solved.

Wow!! What would I do without you Loren?? LOL

And that concludes my lesson to everyone for the evening... to recap, always put the lid back on the rat tank. (bowing) Thank you. Thank you very much.

OK here is an observation, over the course of a month.

I recently moved my mice pens into the reptile room.

Suddenly I have a hyper active Ball Python who roams all the time, tries to escape and has slammed into his screen when I get close.

The Corn and Pueblan Milk are out a lot more often also.

The scent of those mice in the same room has converted my boring snakes into interesting ones

Carmella still just sits in her hide until I lift it off her, she eats and goes back up under it. (Yawn)

would make sense. Mine are kept in the same room too, but have been for so long that I'm not sure if they still act different. I'd imagine they get used to it to some degree. My snakes are decently active, but not overly. Kinda like i didnt think the dairy smelled when I had lived there for years...

I was thinking about the same thing when i got my corn snake recently. Its cage is in the same room as my pet mice. I guess there is nothing wrong with it right? He doesnt ever try to bite me or anything so the smell might even make things kind of interesting for him eh?

[infernalis]

Most of my "bigger" snakes are usually hiding, or just sitting there.

Since I have moved the mice, they are all far more active.

The BP is most noticeable, and it is a tad unsettling that he is in this "feed mode"

He has struck at me more than once. He smells mice, and the heat pits pick up my motion resulting in a response.

When he hits my arm, Its like getting punched.

Off-convo question: Does Kroger sell dry ice?
