Holy ****!!!

Monty ate!!

I thawed a small rat out today and Monty being the renagade he is was sleeping under the astro turf. I didn't really care cause I figured he'd not eat. So I tossed it under there with him. By the way, I put the babies in the precision, and him in the 5x2x2.

So I got back two hours later to take the rat out and heave it, but it was missing! Monty has a plump spot now, I'm so happy. This was my x-mas gift, hehe.

Think he'll start refusing again, or will he just catch on. I'm thinking of feeding him mice for the most part, and then every month give him a medium rat. Just to not over feed him.

:) :) :) :) :)

That's awesome! You can never tell with bp's whether he'll catch on or not, just have to wait and see.

Congrats!

Oh, and I'd say, if he took the rat, keep him on rats! That would be the best thing for him.

Good luck with future feedings, my friend.

w00t!

Nothing like those little successes to brighten the day!

Everybody's eating.........I'd say it was peer pressure!

why does monty wanna be bubba so bad? geez get off his jock.

j/k btw, glad to hear it john. i was beginning to worry about ol' monty.

Glad to hear the fasting is over!

i went to feed my boa today but it is in its shed cycle so i can't

DAMN!!!!
oh well i'll wait

whats so wrong with feeding during shed cycle? as long as they arent actually in the process of shedding it shouldnt be a problem. i do it, never had a problem.

Some snakes eat, and some don't while in shed. I'd say its about 30/70 (70 being the ones that do eat) as far as mine are concerned. You never can tell. I would say give it a try pimp_n_python, it couldn't hurt :)

Mine just ate yesterday and he is in his shed cycle. Might as well give it a try.

Good for Monty!! :D

Bastian ate today too....but he eats every five days. Atreyu, on the other hand, is off feed. I'm not gonna even try to feed him till spring.

My bp has never refused food =)..

lol... just wait.


picky little eaters they are.

You better knock on wood, LOL. Your time will come... :lol:

Congrats on Monty eating. I'd second the rat thing, if he eats em' I would suggest keeping him on just the rats.
Well just my 2 cents.
Congrats again
