They are wild caught, so I figured live mice would be best. They are adult mice, they would stay in the cage for 5-7 days at a time before I would remove them.
I dont handle the female at all, and the male only when I change the news paper.

They dont seem to be interested in prey at all, however they are constantly smelling the air.

Leaving live mice in a snakes cage for 5-7 days is probably whats stressing these animals out. Plus, you run the risk of them attacking/chewing on your snakes. Leaving live prey in with any snake is a big no no and you should never leave them unsupervised...
