taken the decision to offer all my 4 tonight with the slim hope they will all eat

sully at the moment is doing his best to make his viv look empty but didn't eat 2wks ago so may take tonight, he goes off his food every now and then but it can be during any time of the yr

clover has not eaten in about 16wks but she has been out for her evening roam around her viv earlier than normal for the pat wk so thought it would be worth a go

cilla is a given. 16in tongs at the ready, need i say more

the boa (no name yet but toying with grace) only seems interested in food every other week. she didn't take last week so hopefully she will tonight

1.1 normal royal, sully, silver
0.1 pinstripe royal, penny
1.1 pastel royal, lars, clover
0.1 lesser royal, serenity
0.1 black pastel royal, betty
0.1 mojave royal, mavis
0.1 normal het clown
1.0 pastel het clown

Ah, I know how you feel. I have 4 snakes to feed today too, but not sure if 3 of them will.

Shadrach I'm hoping will be easy to please - he was up at his viv window as usual, alert for company.

Both Shahi and Surahi were wandering about in the night - in fact at 7am Shahi was making such a row in his viv that I got him out and took him to bed for half an hour, which he seemed to enjoy. But both he and Surahi haven't fed for a while, so one weaner rat is defrosting.

First I'll warm it and offer it to Shahi, whose decision will be quick, yes or no. If he takes, I'll defrost another for Surahi and warm it and leave it at the mouth of her hide. If she takes, then it's a case of defrost another for Ziska.

If no takers for the original rat, then by this afternoon it will have led quite an exciting life, having visited two vivs and landed up in a third. Conveniently, I'm offering a prey smaller than Shahi and Surahi usually take, in the hope they'll be tempted; if not, it's the right size for Ziska.

But Ziska, I suspect, is in blue ...

Whew!

And if you followed all that, you're a better man than I am ...

Good luck for tonight!
