A christmas miracle!!!

I just wanted to share my happiness. My baby caramel, after countless assist feedings, finally decided to strike and eat on his own. He was thoroughly terrified of his food since I got him in October. I am thrilled to now have experience with assist feeding for future breeding plans that may produce stubborn hatchlings, but even more thrilled and proud of my lil guy. :D:D:D:D:D:D

Aww, congrats! It's a win win. Hope your caramel decides to keep eating! :D

Congrats!

Always good when you no longer have to force feed lol :D

Never had to do it, but I imagine its a good feeling! Congrats!

yay!! i bet that was such a relief!!

Congrats on the succesful feeding!

I understand your elation as I have been having extreme difficulties getting my new BP to eat as well. It didn't matter what I offered. The snake seemed afraid of it. She finally ate last Friday, thank goodness! I was getting really worried and didn't want to have to resort to force feeding unless I absolutely had to.

I share your feeling as it happened to one of the babies I bought 5 months ago. Patience finally paid off and now she is eating like a monster and never refuse a meal on a 5-day feeding schedule. Congrats and keep us posted of your healthy caramel 5 months later. ;)

congrat, make life with snakes easyer when you dont worry about a noneater. good luck with the future breeding.

thats good to hear. i couldn't think of a better Christmas present than that. :)
