I gave Shifty a mouse. He eagerly took it, ate it, and there was the teeniest bump along his sides. And he looked satisfied, something that he didn't look before. So I'll go with the mouse, and for the future, just get a couple, and try a 2nd one after the first if he still looks hungry.

that's a good strategy to follow. :wink:
p.s. How can a snake "look" hungry? I have never had this experience, so I actually don't know.

Peanut usually eats 3 mice, then if he starts "hunting" for another i will give him one. I usually buy 4 and end up with another mouth to feed until he decideds that he can handle the 4th one- usually a day or 2 after the first ones.

Deb, he points his head up at me and does this 
Really, he just looks up at me and then looks around and starts hunting again. My guess is that he really does know where the food comes from.
