my number 1 desire is something that is loosely referred to as a "pumpkin pied" where the one of the splotches of color looks like a jack-o-lantern. My birthday is on Halloween so that would be my ULTIMATE snake. http://gallery.kingsnake.com/data/90...pyFace-med.jpg
Wow, that's awesome. I would annoy the hell out of it with how many pictures i'd be taking.

Well I may have spoken too soon. I tried to feed her twice this week and she hasn't had any interest in the mice. I mean I am giving her a mite treatment, but I gave both of my snakes mite treatments and my guy is being a pig. I fed him last night, and this morning my curiosity piqued when I saw the mouse still sitting in my albino's tank. I grabbed the mouse, ran it under warm water again and fed it to my guy to see if he'd eat it, and he did.
This raises 2 questions: Should I be feeding Akeda more since he ate twice in one day? He ate a full size mouse and then a really small fuzzy roughly 8 hours later.
Cleo hasn't eaten in 10 days at this point, which I'm not really worried about, but according to the standards that I've seen on here she looks a little underfed. How long should I wait to assist feed her?

You can wait a long time before assist feeding. How much does your snake weigh? A good rule of thumb is to feed 10-15% of their body weight

A meal that is 14~ grams would be perfect. I would leave her alone for a week and try again later

I agree with this. Giving her the mite treatment may have stressed her out a bit so she didn't feel like eating. The same has happened my my normal Levi. I put mixed his substrate with coco husk to raise the humidity since it's so dry due to the cold and that slight change stressed him and now he's refusing which is fine in his case since he had plenty of weight to spare lol. But don't worry. Just give her more time and she will come around [emoji4]
