sheba was eating last night and took the mouse (refused the rat and would rather her eat somethin at min) as she took it head first and started to swallow it, the front leg stuck out the side of her mouth, she then couldnt get it any further and couldnt seem to break the leg back, so she coiled round it and pulled it out and left it. when is the best time for me to offer her food again, am i best to leave it for 5 days or offer again today, can see she is hungry but wary. worried it might have put her off. |

I have a carpet python that needs the legs breaking to eat. He is so damn fussy that if ANYTHING impedes his eating he just refuses it. Best trick is to cut them off with a pair of snips while still frozen (less mess).
That or dislocate the legs so they fall back easier. |

just a quick update, weighed sheba tonight before feeding, she comes in at 284g so slight weight loss (3g), but she hasnt eaten for 3 weeks and has had a shed, so happy with her at the min, took her out of the viv and put her in her feeding rub, cos want to get her outta the habit of feeding in viv (they did that at the shop) she struck 3 times and constricted, took large mouse with no hesitation, sooooo pleased cos worried the prob she had earlier in the week had put her off. No probs!!! yippee!!!! |
