JCP feeding

[pilot511]

My JCP has never missed a meal, but I was just curious if anyone has had feeding problems with their JCPs or IJs and if it was known for having problems? Thanks. (My bp has just been on and off and its been a little irritating, just wanted to make sure the carpets dont have problems bc I'm gonna be getting another one or 2), THanks.

There are no guarantees...some snakes are picky...some arent. I have balls who have never missed a meal...I have some that just really frustrate me with how picky they are....

...they all have their own personality...and they all have their own habits....but thats why we are here! To share our experiences!

yeah, I mean my one JCP has never missed, I just wanted to see the consensus of what people think.

all of my carpets will eat anything, anytime... even when opaque. the only time one has ever refused is when gravid.

My Vandeventer JCP group will eat anything anytime but it has to be P/K or F/T - Live scares the crap out of them...My Python Pete group will only eat mice though 1 female will eat ASF's...They prefer live but a few will take P/K...

Mine will eat anything, anytime. I've had Stryker for 4 years and he's never once refused a meal. My baby IJs refused once when I first got them but the next week they were done settling in and ate like champs. My big girl eats like maniac as well. One of the things I love about mine is their amazing feeding responses. The only snake that hits harder and faster than my Carpets is my Suriname red tail.

the IJs are hardy eaters as well?

i could put a small rat in with my JCP every day and she would eat it... but my baby is a little bit more picky... if its not warm, he wont eat it... lol

but as said, no garantees...

I have 2 Diamond x JCP's. Neither has skipped a meal. One ate cold rats for a previous owner in addition to a glove with a faux fur fringe.
