Lavender has eaten!!!

"Quality Before Quantity"
Hi Everyone and thanks for all the help you gave us with the suggestions on how to get our 0.1 Lavender "Una" to eat. She wanted nothing to do with frozen thawed and I had a real hard time thinking about giving it a live mouse. Not for fear of what would happen to the mouse (because thats inevitable) but what could happen to my snake. I bought a live mouse but wasn't sure of how to do the pre-killed thing so I put the mouse in a "HabaHut" plastic bin and shook it back and forth real vigorously and it really numbed the mouse enough so it was just twitching. I put the mouse in the bin and she didn't even hesitate. Went right at the mouse and struck, coiled,killed and ate that mouse in world record time. I have some aggressive eaters but this girl is a vacuum. Check the pics.
Thanks,
Jay & PJ :cool:

Excellent news. You might have to prekill or stun and then try f/t again. Just make sure that you really heat it up. Lukewarm just won't do it I've found with many of mine.
