Royal foster

[DavethePython]

I am not sure what they did , I was not there. They just said he was force fed . He seems to be very relaxed so far . It is much calmer and quieter here at my house. He seems right at home so I am giving him another couple days and I will try to feed him . I have to feed others tomorrow so I am going to see how he reacts to the scent o the prey as I thaw it out. I know when I put the prey in a bowl of warm water my other 2 start going nuts right away when they smell it . I am hoping he will react to the smell too . I will just place the prey in his room to warm it up .

Well a little update . I did try to feed the little guy today . He seems to shy away from prey . Don't know if the breeder had him on live and he got bit or what but he does not want any part of feeding. I did manage to open his mouth and place the pinky in his mouth to a point that he did finally take it . So a little good news , at least he will have some nourishment now .

Alright well you need to give your rescue to an actual rescue.

You suck at this.


First of all, you didn't even give the snake a REAL meal. It should be on hopper mice. NOT pinks. Try live hopper mice.

Second of all, do not assist feed unless it's a DIRE situation. That's a LOT of stress on the poor snake. You just attempted to make him feel all secure and good in your home and went and ruined it with an assist feed.
