Re: Female yellow anaconda stopped eating?

So this probably doesn't have to do with your snake not eating, but I highly suggest an enclosure upgrade soon. It is pretty awesome you have a docile anaconda, they generally are quite defensive. I don't recommend feeding your snake any more live animals just because, there is more risk then benefit, especially when you are feeding large rats and rabbits. Try hook training and feeding the snake inside the enclosure, this may get her to eat. I know places that feed guinea pigs, but I think it is more trouble then it's worth. Apparently they have more nutrition, but I don't see any problems with people keeping large snakes on rabbits. May I ask how long your snake has been off feed?

Thank you for the information, yes I agree there live feeding can be a hassle, I used to watch each live feeding and would hold back rat jaws if they could make contact, I feel like that would be a lot more difficult with a larger feeder. I believe her last meal was back in the middle of October.
