    CRB - Won't Open Mouth to Take Food But..
    So I've always kinda had to do this thing with my CRB every time I feed her. She won't open her mouth but she's VERY interested in the food and will sniff it like crazy.

    The thing is she won't open her mouth or strike out to take it. She still eats though; I have to open her mouth and put the hopper in her mouth (not even down her throat at all) then she'll unhook her jaw, swallow it, and completely digest it.

    It's weird, but I'm glad she at least eats unlike the Pinstripe female BP I had that died.

    I'm just wondering if I should be worried? She has no problems with her jaw or anything at all. She recently just shed too.

    I have a cinnamon bp thats like this. I open her mouth with the nose of the rat and as soon as its in there, she clamps down and wraps and does everything else her self. Very strange. I guess she's just a picky eater hahaha

    Yeah it's weird but at least they take it:). I'm sure it's not a huge problem though, maybe we just have weird snakes LOL:P
