| This was an unexpected feeding. I bought an extra male and two female mice. The females killed the male and I don't know if they are gravid. I need to do some more research and preparation before attempting mouse breeding. The dead male was not stiff or even cold when I discovered it was dead. I warmed it under the heat lamp for a minute and threw it in Dudlea's direction. She struct at it and constricted for as long as she would for a live mouse. Perhaps she will eat frozen thawed after all, but I want to start breeding and hopefully these two females are gravid. |

| She was soaking her cloaca yesterday. Today she had defecated and fouled her water bowl with feces and urates. She is glass surfing now (hunting?). Feedings have been 10 days apart. Feeding is due on 10/24, three more days. It took seven days to pass her last feeding, so I think I will stay with 10 days and one adult mouse. |

| Comments | Went to visit the pet store |
| My friend Josh is a manager at one of the Petco stores in my town. I talked with him a lot before I bought Dudlea and he wanted to see her. He thinks I might be feeding her too much because she is getting very thick in the middle but her neck is still pretty small. I'm going to skip a feeding and try to let her out a little bit this week for some exercise. |

| I noticed that some kind of seedling had sprouted in the shredded coconut substrate and it gave me an idea to plant grass seed in my snake enclosure. I think it will provide a bit more nature for her and help to retain moisture. I will keep an eye on the germination and humidity levels and keep notes. |

| Regurge | Digestion Problems? Over feeding? |
| I usually notice feces 3-4 days after feeding. Last week I only noticed urates, but I fed her two mice on Saturday night anyway. She had been in her hide constantly for the last two nights, no patrolling or even changing temp. I cranked the humidity up and after about two hours, she passed a large solid feces and regurgitated at the same time. The only difference in feeding prior to the constipation was a male mouse. I added some bark when I cleaned on Sunday. I have been gone for long hours this week and the humidity has dropped down considerably. I need an automatic misting solution to keep the substrate moist. |

| Comments | Dudley is female? |
| I learned how to "pop" and very carefully practiced the technique. I did not observe any hemipenes, rather a single mound. The distance from the cloaca to the tip of the tail is only approximately two inches. I would have thought it would be more with a female, but she is still less than a year old. I think her hatch date is in November, but I'm not sure. |

| The female mice that I normally feed were all very small at the pet store. I got a male instead. When I grabbed the mouse's tail, he tried to bite me. I had been worried about this, but the strike was instant and Dudley quickly swallowed this mouse. |
