Meet "Rufus"

Where's my mouse?

So yesterday, I promised Rufus a fat mouse this morning.

He woke me up this morning screaming, "Where is it.......?"

 

[DollysMom]

Waiter! Where's my mouse?

 

[DLena]

Karl, you've built up Rufus' expectations. Your tip hangs in the balance.

 

[Karl_Mcknight]

Everyone can rest easy now! (Including me).

His belly is full and he's disappeared into his dark hole.

I can't take the screaming of an adolescent corn snake.

 

[kdickens]

"Ahhhh! That was good!"

 

[albertagirl]

Nothing more satisfying than a full belly and a warm dark place.

 

[Karl_Mcknight]

Rufus squeezed the %$@# outta that mouse

Ever seen a dead mouse poop?

Rufus was giving his Sunday morning Brunch a big hug a few minutes ago and a little raisin popped out.

He's also showing signs of "Going Blue" again, but I already had the mouse ready.

 

[Karl_Mcknight]

Washing up

And of course after you've swallowed a mouse it only makes sense to get a big drink and wash your face

 

[albertagirl]

I'm actually suprised that doesn't happen more often. Considering most mice go in head first, and there must be a considerable amount of squeezing going on as they're going in, I've always thought it strange that this doesn't happen every time actually! Haha

I once had a piece of mouse poo get stuck in my snake's teeth. That was fun trying to help him get it out. uke01:

 

[DollysMom]

Well now I'll tell you my secret. Before feeding I gently rinse under running water and gently squeeze the dead mouse. Any poop goes down the drain. I have to clean the sink but I have to clean it after mouse prep anyway.

I think Rufus's poop shooting trick is awfully neat though, lol.

 

[Karl_Mcknight]

LOL!!!

I never even considered that. But then I only touch the mice with Tongs. I'm not about to squeeze one.

And snakeowner of the year award goes to... DollysMom, you go above and beyond! My snakes are lucky if I pick any poop off of their mouse's fur before defrosting. I figure whatever's inside is extra seasoning. :roflmao:

Ya know, in retrospect it was TMI. Lol. :roflmao:

Extra seasoning, yum. :licklips:

 

[Karl_Mcknight]

special sauce.

All the big restaurant chains have their own version

It's the branding that sets it apart!

 

[Karl_Mcknight]

I thought I saw a snake go in that hole

 

[Karl_Mcknight]

Let's see if he's still in there

 

[Karl_Mcknight]

I wonder if he's friendly?

 

[Karl_Mcknight]

Well apparently he is.

 

[Karl_Mcknight]

And here he is. All 35 inches and 243 grams of him.
