grrr

well, rex didnt eat, again. so i fed the rat to adrian. at least she enjoyed. anyone elses ball off feed?

7 weeks now .. both of them.

Vash has been off since her regurge 2 weeks ago, but Roo took a rat last night.

mines never off fed i have only had it since last friday though.....lol

Its not totally uncommon for males at this time of year. They're gettin "spunky" ;)

reeses is a male and he has been eating fine(well i only fed him 4 times) oh yeah he is now 3 months old lol.

Wow... the only problem I've ever had with a snake not eating was one of my Het Albino males. He would only eat white mice, then didn't eat for 6 months. He never got over 500 grams. When I got him, he was twice as big as other ball pythons I had that were the same age. I guess he just freaked out in the transition.
All my other snakes are killer eaters. I have noticed though... I don't know if anyone else has had success with this... but the day they shed, at night, feed them. I've noticed that if I DON'T feed them right after they shed (and I mean RIGHT AFTER), they refuse food for a long time. Anyone noticed this?

Monty Joe is going on his 8th week. I put a live rat in just to see what he thought tonight. He thought not!! He watched the rat run around and they even rubbed noses several times, but Monty never even looked like he wanted to strike at him. So.....I put the rat out of his misery and gave it to my garbage disposal of a ball cheetah and he ate it like a champ.

Ironhead ... at leas the rat didnt go to waste ;).
