Chepi when for about 4-5 months without feeding, and about 3-4weeks ago, she took her second feed with me (small rat weaner) Last night, i tried her again (i try her every week) and she struck and constricted (for about 5 mins xD )

And not to leave Wendigo out. She's been taking 1 small rat weaner everyweek. And is putting the weight on well!!

What i've been learning to do though, is defrost the one rat, and offer to Chepi, and if she doesn't take, i give it to Wendy. the past couple of times when i've offered chepi, she totally ignores the rat, and comes straight up the glass, watching us, quite creepy. And the past couple of times i've left the rat in with her (when i used to defrost 2) she'd curl up around the rat, very protective looking, but she's never eat it.

Congrats!

Yes, I've learned to do that with a possibly reluctant feeder - organise same feeding day for two snakes who'll take similar size prey and try the doubtful feeder first ...doesn't half save waste. But doesn't sound like you've got any reluctant feeders now - may they go from strength to strength!
