It's been 3-4 weeks since Monty last ate. I know this is normal, but since this is my first go with snakes, it's still unnerving. He lost some weight & I was getting anxious.

In those weeks, I tried his a small live rat, large live mice, and f/t small rats. He seemed afraid of the live after a bad strike on a feisty rat & uninterested in f/t.

So today I went to the local feed store to pick up a mouse & give it another try, but they were out & don't carry f/t. All they had was a small African Soft Fur rat. After playing cat & mouse with it for a good 15 minutes, he went into his hide & I thought he had given up. The rat came sniffing around the opening & BAM! He's chowing down as we speak & I'm relieved. I just hope he isn't hooked on them now. :
