i coulda guess that would happen.. well (i might get flamed for this) i put the mice on their heat rocks, and then set it in another 10 gallon tank along with the snake, then just put the 10 in my closet and comeback half an hour later.
i know heat rocks aren't advised at all.. but i set them under the actual tank, making that part about 80 degrees, and the other part about 70.. my snakes seems to enjoy it more than their heat lamps..
and again.. your snake can just decide not to eat, and even if he wants to eat will be completely fine for over a month easy, just always give him the option to eat., if he goes long, just offer him food every couple days.

ever feed him a snake?.. i've always heard king snakes will eat smaller snakes, and a buddy of mine has a 3 footer, and i watched her feed it a 1 1/2 foot garter snake she found.. it was so cool.

warm water is ok.. but hot water can burn the dead mouse.. just like burning a steak on the grill.. it burns away all the nutrition.

If this makes you feel any better about having your eel in your 30 for now, I just saw a video on another chat board site where a guy keeps his SFE ina 20 gallon and calls it his predator tank. He even posted his website and shows people about all his fish. He had a frogfish in there with it at one point and it died, SURPRISE.
I absolutely couldn't believe it. He's not like us in planning to move it to a bigger tank, and he even has one on his site.

my eel will either go in my upgraded tank in the future.. or in my buddy's 75 aggressive.
and sharkboy.. i saw that!, it was sick!, the snake was wriggling around hanging out of his mouth, and then the head was flippin out.. it was terrbile, and i'll bet my life he gets salmonella.
but when you feed a kingsnake another snake they wrap it up while the other snake wraps it, and its a ball of snake, then the king just starts eating its head, and its really.. REALLY.. FUN TO WATCH!
