    Finally!!!!!!!
    Well the yellow-belly female that I rescued about a year ago maybe a little over went thorough mites, scale rot, not wanting to eat and finally going on a 10 month stretch without food. FINALLY ate a frozen thawed small rat for me today, I guess this is a great learning curve for me and tells me to share that patience and persistence as well as good husbandry can take a animal that may be heading the downward spiral to bouncing back. A lot of people dislike BP and don't get them from there eating habits but with patience and persists they will eat accordingly as well as good husbandry so what I can advise people is just relax and be patient.

    thanks all,

    Lance

    It certainly is a great feeling when they start to bounce back! The Pin I got hadn't eaten for over ten months but now has not refused a single meal under my care, which is a fantastic feeling. And the two normals I have bounced back from near death under the care of their previous owners. BPs can be very rewarding to keep. :) As long as you can handle the occasional stubborn eater.
    Congrats one your baby bouncing back from hard times. :gj:
