Having trouble

Wassup guys, I'm currently having trouble with my het albino eating. I have tried live, freshly killed, frozen thawed. Any suggestions to get him to eat. It's so bad my Het pied that I just got yesterday ate prekilled for me today. Maybe I finally got a picky eater

How long are you waiting between attempts and how do you prepare and pre-scent?

It might give us a few ideas.

It's usually a week apart, and if it's f/t I leave it out. Prekilled I get a live mouse from the pet store and kill it rite before I try to feed

You did not say what age.

It is no big deal to miss a feeding a or two. Adults can go for months without. So no need to get upset if they go on strike. But we hate to see the growing youngsters stop.

With your pre-kill, be sure that you are wafting the air towards the enclosure.
This should ring the dinner bell for him.
If you do this successfully and he's hungry, he will eat.

It's a baby he hatched June 1st

You can try live gerbils or ASF'S but they may be hard to find. Weigh the snake to see if they have been losing a lot of weight. Good luck.

Deborah has several of there posts around - you can search for them. I can tell you this technique works, I have used it 4 times and all four times the snake has eaten within 14 days (Logan took the longest).
