Re: Questions about age, adjustment time and eating.
If your following all the advice people have given you in this thread, I cant think of anything else. Others might.
But like I said, sometimes it just takes time and patience to get a live feeder to take F/T.
Re: Questions about age, adjustment time and eating.
If he’s only been with you for about two months, and has eaten in the past 10 days, I see no reason to worry. The snake is over a year old so it definitely knows how to eat. No healthy animal, including humans, will starve itself to death when food is available. My method for picky eaters is very simple. It doesn’t matter if I’m switching from live to f/t or from mice to rats. The formula remains the same. Keep offering food every 2-4 weeks until the snake decides to eat and they ALL eat eventually. You can try all the zombie dancing, scenting, braining, and switching prey type tips and tricks but the bottom line is the hunger ALWAYS wins in the end. I had a young carpet that took about 4 months before she started eating consistently. Now she never misses a meal. I’ve had two BPs go 8 & 12 months without food and they were both just fine. Make sure your temps are dialed in and try to enjoy your critter without stressing about it eating. I know it’s hard but I promise it’ll eat when it’s ready.
