So rocky was fed f/t at the store, i told them i wanted to see her eat before i picked her up. last thursday i went in there and to my surprise she had a mouse half way down already. i waited a few days after i brought her home and tried to feed her. nothing. so i went back in the store today to get more mice to have on hand. the girl said she gave her a live mouse last thursday. how hard will it be to get her back onto f/t?

depends on the animal. some will take it right away and some you may have to work on. try the f/t first she may just take it

Just make sure its warmed up niice and good

what kind of boa is it? usually depends on the species.

[nick654377]

1. warm water for 5 minutes, then hot water for 1
2. just hot water
3. leave it out for a few hours.

Give her a little extra time before you offer again. A home change is stressful and some snakes just won't eat right away, especially if you brought her home shortly after she last fed.

Zero handling, no interaction except for changing water, spot cleaning. Only offer food every week at a minimum. Dont handle until the snake has eaten a couple of times
