Happy snake dad

Just wanted to share, that finally, after trying for 2+ years, I got my Male KSB to switch to F/T!!! Last 3 meals, didn't wanna say anything til there was 3 consecutive lol. Funnily enough, he's now eating rat pinkies (use to be live mouse fuzzies). Really really grateful.

Congratulations :pinkele::pinkele::pinkele: that's great new glad to hear time and patience paid off in the end, very good looking noodle too;) best wishes always :P

Way to go! Congratulations! :fest2::carrot::sweeet:

That’s great to hear. I have no complaints with feeding live, but f/t makes life so much easier and cheaper, congratulations.

Yay lil' KSB!!!!

Great work big Poppa!!

Congrats on the successful transition. That's a lot of patience and dedication. What do you think made the difference?

Perseverance and hard work lol. Jk, he went on like a 4-5 month winter fast, had to scent the live mice with gerbil bedding just to get him to start eating. Then I thawed the pinkie in a bag with gerbil bedding. Then in a bag that once contained gerbil bedding the week before. Then just regular and he took it. Was important to make sure it was warm enough, and to tease him a bit to pique his curiosity. The first f/t he struck and then just sat there with it in his mouth in total shock, his face was priceless he had no clue what was going on lol but he did eventually take it down. Was just about him being back in food mode before I could make the switch

Just be careful with hides that have holes like the skull .

Snakes can and do get stuck !!

Thanks for looking out Zinc. I am very much on top of that, the skull eyes and top still leave him plenty of space, and the other skull holes are way too small for him to even try. Croc skull I actually just cut off the middle piece by the nose and filed it down. But as he grows I am going to keep monitoring it, as I am aware of the dangers
