Lol yeah, all my snakes have crazy smell. When i am feeding Pat his little mouse, all the boas perk up and are poked out of their hides standing up haha.
And now that it has been a day since Caesar's first rabbit, he is looking pretty satisfied. I am still surprised how little of a dent that rabbit made in him though.

Thanks. I really wasnt worried about Caesar eating. He is a garbage can and eats anything lol. From my experience with feeding the boas rabbits, i havent noticed difference in poop.
Re: Caesar progression thread.
Gratz on the rabbit feeding. I am always so amazed at how quickly they digest and the size of food they can handle. Shiva (my BP) took her first medium rat last Thursday. I never thought she would have gotten it down. She is 700+ grams now. Took her a min to get it down but she crawled back in her hide and is digesting still. If she is out tonight will hold her a min. Monty has gotten in the habit of striking his glass when I put him back into his enclosure. It amazes me how quickly retics can go from calm to SUPPRISE! Let me know how long before Caesar is back on the move. He is looking nice and satisfied for sure.

I hope once a week is good for Monty? I might have to move him to 5 days for a while. He is young and I think he smells my ASFs in the other room. 3 feet and skinny. I did feed him something of the correct size Thursday. I might have to feed him tonight or tomorrow. He never slows down it seams. No aggression when being taken out or handled. Just when put back.
For the past 2 weeks the 7 day schedule for Rainbow has worked. I just want her happy and healthy. Happy and healthy means she is in a good mood. LOL.

He hasnt been in a food coma since he was a baby. I would have to feed him something like a medium rabbit to probably get him into food coma haha.
Caesar has only struck the glass once. He has shot out of the door a few times though but only when he actually smelled food as a youngin. The boas though have struck the glass. Pretty much only Rango a couple times, Gina a couple times, Vicky a couple times and Louie about a dozen times haha. He is a freak though. Was shy as heck for about a year but if he smelled food, all his shyness went out the window and he became a loaded spring of teeth.

No idea how old your snakes are but if i had a choice, i would like to feed Caesar every 2 weeks. For babies, once a week is fine but after a year or so, i like to push them out to every 2 weeks if i can.

Rainbow is 2 years and 2 months old. I would like her to be on a 2 week schedule but man she had problem waiting 7 days. At that point she even flips her water bowl over which is a 5 quart oil pan that is half full of water. I know if I come home and everything is moved around she needs food that day! I think now that she is eating proper meals she is growing lots again. Like I said she gained 11lbs and 2 feet in length in 7 weeks. That is a lot of growth. I think this is week 9 and she shed last night for the 3rd time in my care. I am grateful she is easy to handle and hope she stays that way.
Monty? My guess is a 3-4 month old. He is active except for the 2 days after feeding and then moving around again. He is always hungry but I am trying to keep him on 7 day feedings with a ASF rat crawler snack on day 4. They are small and is more of a snack than a meal and doesn't slow him down.
If I am doing something wrong please correct me. What would you do with those personalities?
