HAHA Victory!! YES!

My cinny het albino female ate tonight! Little bugger went on a 4 month strike right before we moved. She lost 30g in 4 months (not too shabby). She's sitting at around 450g now. Now hopefully we can keep this up.

One of my subadult normal females was trying to make a switch back to mice tonight, too. She does this every couple months: refuses the rat, acts like she wants to slither around it and up my arm rather than eat it. But no no. I am onto her tricks now! I rubbed that rat in mouse ju and BAM! Tricked her!

It's the small things in life, folks... :)

Here's some pics of the aforementioned snakies. :D

My pastel male did that to me awhile back. seeing him eat again was the highlight that that week lol. Always good to get a snake eating!

Woot! I felt like dancing a jig when my clown female came off her 3.5 months fast!

My pastel guy did this too. Almost 5 months. Went from 1400g down to 1200. I finally decided to try mice and he started to eat then after a couple weeks I switched him to rat pups and he took those and then just added a little bit of size to the rats each feeding and now he eats voraciously on small live rats and is almost 1500g! Its a great feeling. My pastel female (who is pos het pied) hit 1100g and decided to make me stress out for a few weeks took a rat then went back on strike for 5 weeks and she just broke her hunger strike last night. Lets hope she keeps eating. I really want to get her up to size by January and try to prove her out. :please:
