    My ghost, the phantom eater

    My hypo Yoda refuses to take food from me yet I know the little bugger is hungry. So I just leave the F\T in there over night and of course the mouse is gone. Wondering if anyone else has a snake that will only eat privately, maybe he thinks he's fat and is a closet eater?

    Nothing wrong with this at all as long as you never leave him alone with live. only do it with f/t or p/k. I have heard others say their snakes do this too. I find it humorous. Its like they dont want you spying on them lol.

    I would never do it with live obviously, I don't do live at all. I was just wondering how many others are out there that had snakes that did this. I think its pretty humorous, gives him a shy personality

    My Lesser girl wont eat unless I leave it in her tub and it is completely silent and dark so I always feed her last and just leave the f/t rat on top of her hide before I go to bed.
