I had two females that would not eat and they finally ate for me last week. It had been since the beginning of March when I bought them. I threw in a rat to each of them thinking they would refuse like normal. I was taking down weights on the other snakes when I heard a rat squeak. I open the tub to find the big girl wrapped around the rat. I was so excited. Then I checked the smaller girl's tub and she was also wrapped around her rat. I was literally leaping for joy. I need to get some more rats in these girls if I plan on breeding next season. :)
