Isis had her feeding today after a very, very short shed cycle. I gave her her fist live mouse (since she was w/ me) and she was quite happy. I got him from petco. He was gonna be a breeder but he just wasn't healthy. I've been feeding live even more now. I don't mind it as much as I thought I would.

They stop the heart and suffocate it. When the mouse exhales, the snake tightens so the mouse can't take in another breath. They also effectively stop the heart at the same time. It's really sort of cool.

Oh and then they keep tightening until the mouse no longer moves and dies. So really, there isn't any bone crunching.

She will. I would switch her over to either pre-killed or frozen/thawed, though, it's a lot safer for them. Some of my animals still eat live b/c I can't get them to switch over but mine are almost all on pre-killed or even frozen thawed. Good luck with her, though! :)

And thanks for the nice comment
