First feed a success

[IAFFbuckeye]

Well we have had our normal female BP for 5 days now. She has seemed to settle in well to her new cage and had been wandering around late at night slowly appearing to hunt. Decided we should try the first feed and thank god it went without a hitch. She weighed 126 g today and I fed her one F/T adult mouse at 19 g. Did not take her long to strike at all. Def a great feeling knowing she has ate once. Just want to thank everyone for their advice and help. Ill keep my fingers crossed that she continues to eat. Just saw her roaming her cage and leaving her hot hide. Is that normal after they eat that they still are on the hunt.

Oh yeah, once they switch over to feeding mode, it's not unusual for them to stay on the hunt for a while. She'll settle down pretty soon in a hide and start to digest her mouse.

Congrats on the first successful feeding! It's a great feeling

I just picked up a 2011 male albino this past Sunday and fed him for the first time this morning. I thawed out a rat pup and got it real toasty with a hair dryer. Grabbed the rat with some tongs and bam he struck it immediately and wolfed it down. Really happy considering the breeder was only feeding live mice and he took an f/t rat on the first try. Hopefully he will keep this up. BTW his name is Skipper (my boys name all of our snakes).
