| well after 7 weeks with out a feed. both snakes ate last night with a little assistants. one ate a pinkie the other a small mouse. still showing no interest in food when over on with tongs but at least they have something in them now and will hopefully realize that next week when they are being over food on tongs they will know what it is and that it tastes good. Huge relief knowing that they finally have some food in them. Glad i brought them to tony when i did. so big thanks to him. |

bah, I promised no more than two snakes, now there are 6, promised only one dog, now two.............the local kids are amazed when they ask what I have now.
The only thing I'm not allowed is reptiles (non snake) as wife refuses to have insects in the house (after I bought a beardie and dropped the insects all over the living room) |

Both Peanut and Oscar were no feeders, and now they are total dustbins...
Oscar is such a foody now...he only has to smell it and is waiting just in case it is his.. |

Im glad one is eating properly now and im sure the other wont be far behind
My friends hatchling was very poorly last week and it turns out it was dehydrated, it must not have known that it felt like crap because it needed water and as soon as scott persuaded it to go over and drink it started getting better. Im sure as soon as it realises the connection between food and its present situation itll start feeding no problem, they can be quite silly when theyre young.
Chin up man, itll work out.

hi all well sad news i'm afraid. just had the call i never wanted. the snake that had gone downhill a bit has passed away this evening. i guess those weeks without food had just caught up on her poor thing didn't even have the energy to complete a shed.
other one is still doing ok going to up the food routine to every 4or5 days to try and get her built up a bit. |
