field mouse

caught this little dude humanely and just hoping someone has room for him in their habitat, i will likely be catching more if you are looking to expand
Ralph submitted this and suggested the mouse would look good in a snake or reptile habitat. I concur. Wild mice have diseases and poor manners. I suggest Sparky switch to less humane traps for future little dudes, just as God intended.
Without scale references this is unlikely to be a “field mouse” Microtus pennsylvanicus, the Eastern Meadow Vole.
Far more likely to be a “house mouse” Mus musculus.
The latter more common frozen as snek chow. There’s a reason “Fancy Mice” are bred for domestication as pets, too,
While Spark is certain they have “humanely” trapped this rodent, all they have achieved is a deferment of its fate in the world.

The ears are too big for a vole, but it may be a White-footed Mouse or a Deer Mouse, Peromyscus spp. The snakes don’t care.
