Success!!!!!

Sooo last feeding was the first time i trie converting my 2 snakes to f/t.
My cinny boy took it but my normal girl didnt. The method i tried was to feed a small rat first, smaller than her usual meal, and then offering a rat to see if she'd take it. Well she didnt :/
But i waited 2 weeks to let her get extra hungry. So i thawed out the rat today and punched a hole in the skull and let some of the brain juice and blood leak out. Well she struck and tagged me, but then didnt seem to want it anymore bc she was pissed that she missed lol. (this was my fault bc the rat was only 85 degrees). So i was like oh well but for the heck of it i just set it in there and watched through the tub. She went over to it and licked it all over and finally started to eat it!!! So exciting!!!

Congrats!

Good job...and buy some 16 inch hemostats ;)

Yea i use these plastic tongs that are like 12". And i usually wear a glove but i realized afterwards i was wearing it on the hand that wasnt offering the rat to her lol...
It wasnt my brightest moment lmfao :D

LOL, I used to have a pair of 24 inch hemo's that I could feed with from the next room over. I used them for one particular Pastel male that would come more than half his body length out of the tub if you whispered the word rat.

Congrats! They can definitely be stubborn snakes!

Nothin wrong with that!!

I currently use 12" tongs but I can tell that when my albino boa gets bigger I'm going to need something longer so I can get the heck out of her way! :D

This line is very poetic. So graphically detailed, I feel like I was there, and now have an emotional scar.

Haha.. but on a serious note congrats.
