    silly feeding question (BRB)

    To boas, specifically BRBs, have the same general food refusal issues as ball pythons due?

    Re: silly feeding question (BRB)

    I have had my BRB for about 4 months and she has never refused food. She will even eat two meals right after each other. I suggest that you take your F/T mouse in a ziplock baggie and running it under warm water until the mouse is warm to the touch. Then the snake will drill it when you put it in their feeder box. Also try putting the snake and the meal in a brown paper bag for an hour or so.....in the dark. That might work too.

    Re: silly feeding question (BRB)

    generally BRBs have a strong feed response but like any snake they can go off food. If they miss a meal or 2 I would not stress, but if its a common problem check your temps, humidity, hides etc.
    I'm not your friend buddy!
