SUCCESS!!

My first feeding with Norbert was a complete success! It took him all of 2 seconds to strike, he must have been hungry! He somehow ended up with the mouse in the water dish, but it all turned out okay. I took some pics.

way to go norbert.

told you he'd eat. ;)

good lord you must be relieved! SO happy for you - you needed this worse than most of us! Sleep soundly!!

pssh, i got a snake that hasn't eaten in 6 months. talk about needing it.

woah man that sucks i'm really sorry to hear that hope he/she eats! Have you tried the brain method? I've only read about it never tried it it's supposed to smell like heck but I guess that's like home cookin' to a snake. I'm just curious to see if it works. In any case I wish you luck you need it real bad too!

i'll force feed him before i bust a rat's brains out. i'm pretty sure he's gonna' eat though, he's becoming more active every day... and he's been drinking a lot of water lately, not sure what that means.


anyway, sorry to jack your post gen. congrats on the first feed, and good luck on many more to come!

Way to go, Norbert! And great pics, Gen! I'm sure Norbert was thinking, "What took ya so blasted long???" :D

YEAH, GEN!!!!!!!!!! I am doing the happy dance for Gen. So happy with you recent success!!!

Congrats, gen! I guess Norbert likes his food with a little gravy. ;)

Thanks guys, I'm so relieved!
