Would you keep her?

I do not breed snakes or anything like that but that girl is definitley a keeper! She is gorgeous! I had two ball pythons once that would not eat anything but mice. I just ended up feeding mutliple mice and then they eventually switched back to small rats so don't give up hope on her just yet!

Dang it Fedex your late :rolleyes:.I am still debating that idea :P(keeping her or not)

I can't stand to keep any nasty fur rat thing in my house, mouse or rat. But I love my pythons.. My boy Zeus will ONLY eat live mice, he would starve for a year if I offered rats.... So every week I head out to the feed store and pay $1.75 for a mouse ! Now a cat or dog would blow through 10-50lbs of food a month, that's like $10-$40 bucks a month easy.. If a snake is eating once a week that's $8 bucks a month !

I would never give up my Zeus just cuz he is a picky eater... try frozen in bulk if it's that bad, but she is a nice female I would hang on to her !

She might make a complete turn around though it might take time so it's up to you to see if you wish to keep her or not.

Back in 04 I purchased a female het albino (the most stubborn feeder I ever had) no matter what I would do she would not touch a rat (no way to fool her either)

She went on strike for 9 months when she hit 1000 grams, I thought now way she would refuse a rat after that…well I was wrong still no way to fool her.

Last year she went of feed again for 6 months this time and while I though it would not work few month ago (in august) I offered her a rat and she ate that rat without hesitation and even wanted some more.

She now feed VERY aggressively on rats and doubt I will ever have a problem with her again. ;)

So yeah even the most stubborn can switch back, now the question is, do you have the patience?

LOL, I think Lynn, my potential hat-band;), is screwing with my wait too. Granted I have about a year and a half longer to wait.

feel free to send her my way.

I would try to get her switched over. I've had a couple that gave up on rats for awhile, but all switched back. My mojo male is currently refusing rats. It costs me $3 for a dang mouse, but I'm like you, I absolutely hate the mouse stink!
