almost finally

[Derrick]

Well after over a month with not eating I had partial sucess today. My female started eating, had it about half in her mouth when I went to throw the rat in with my male she must have been startled and spit it out:(. just went up and checked on my male and he polished his off. If she doesnt eat hers over night I'll try it again in another 5 days.

I stuck a pin up a mouse hoppers nose and crunshed/scrambled some brains. I squeezed out some ooze and used that to sent the rats.

Glad to hear she kind of ate! Keep at it!

However, I would strongly advise against feeding snakes together, in the same enclosure. Probably nothing will happen, but stress is a big factor and cannibolism is possible.

They share the same heating pad not the same enclosure. but thx for the warnning. here a pic of the male very full. What he's doing hiding out on the top of the cool side after a big meal I'll never figure out.

Hey, nice pic!!!!

Ahhh I misunderstood... I thought you had said that the male had eaten what the female had vomitted. My bad!

Gorgeous snake!!

My little IJ likes to perch up high too. I have branches in his enclosure but he wedges himself up on the lip and spends all day up there.


BTW, Zoe, he's doing great and eating like a piggie :D
