    Picky eaters
    Everybody has heard about the ball pythons going off feed. I recently heard (dont know if its true or not) that spiders are great feeders. It got me thinking is there morphs that are better feeders than others or its all the same?

    A BP is a BP regardless of the paint job ;), some are voracious some are not, the key is to provide optimal husbandry and be patient.

    Depending on the animal's age, time of the year refusal or fast can be perfectly normal.

    There are a few however that are truly picky eaters those are exceptions not the norm and again the paint job as nothing to do with it.

    Some will say spiders eat great, I have seen some being poor feeders, some will say pied are poor eaters I have seen some eating like horses, each animal is different.

    Any snake can be a great or picky eater. Any of them also, can go on strike at any time. Each snake is individual.
