Jax (my lesser boy) only eats live rats which is very inconvenient for me since almost all my others eat frozen/thawed. so I just went to the reptile store to pick up feeders for him and Callie (cornsnake who only eats live pinky mice). Well...I came back home with a pinky mouse, peach fuzzy rat, and a weanling rat. Jax is big enough to eat a weanling rat, but he hasn't wanted to strike and coil them...only the small ones (refer to this thread: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...eding-Question ). I've tried to get him to eat weanling rats two other times. So I bought him a peach fuzzy rat just to tide him over in case he wouldn't eat the other one. Well...I weighed him and placed the rat in his tub. I forgot to weigh the rat, so I opened his tub to grab the rat so I could weigh it and the little turd struck and coiled right before I grabbed the rat. He proceeded to DOWN the rat. AND...on top of that...Charlotte (my mouser ball python) just ate the pinky/fuzzy rat that I put in just for kicks and giggles (she's NEVER eaten a rat for me). so if she continues to eat rats...ALL the mice that I have in my freezer that I bought FOR HER at Repticon last weekend (because they are too big for my corns) are useless....
WHY MUST THEY BE SO DIFFICULT?!?!?!?!
The joys of ball python ownership at it's finest.
