Re: Feeding funnies Question
Mine don't seem to care either. Although, I've never switched up when one didn't take food. I might try that next time.

Re: Feeding funnies Question
Have you tried feeding them in the dark? They can hunt with their heat pits and sense of smell. Just thought it'd be interesting if you got them to grab it and start swallowing then turn on the light and they realize it's white.

It's always dark when feeding, maybe it's me but just seems strange... just sucks when they won't eat and I can't get dark color rats
Re: Feeding funnies Question
Mine do not seem to have a preference, however, if I have to pick one up from the pet store they always ask me "does it matter what color". So others must have snakes with color preference too
Re: Feeding funnies Question
None of our BP's seem to care about color, however, we have a large Blood Python that will only eat light brown or white rats. I have yet to figure out why. If we put any other color in his enclosure, he will not even remotely act interested. Weird!
