Finally ate after 8 months or so off feed
So this little lady finally decided that anorexia was not the way.
It was just a week or 2 ago that I had contemplated assist feeding..
Guess she knew what I was thinking.
And decided no one was forcing her to munch.
She went from 1000.00grams to 640+/-

This gives me hope! My albino boy has been refusing since october last year! When I was feeding my other snakes, I left 2 rats in his tub while I waited for 2 of my BPs to finish rat #1. I played a game or 2 of team deathmatch on COD, but when i went back to grab the rats, 1 was missing. This strategy hasn't worked since then, but he's gone from 1200 gms to a little over 1000. Probably less now but I don't do weigh-ins til the end of the month.. Much more exciting that way!

WOOOO! That's the most exciting thing. I have a boy who has been refusing food for MONTHS so I know how frustrating this can be. Congrats!

Indeed. She's only a year ans a half and the few others I have that are the same year born (2010) she's the smallest.
My others have already tipped the scales over 1000grams and keep climbing.
Save for my bumble bee. She just got off her fast as well and is back over 1000g.

Good news that she's finally eating again! Can't believe she only lost 400 ish grams in 8 months.
BTW, her pattern is very cool!

Eight months, wow! My record's three months and it drove me crazy. She looks fine though, very pretty. Good luck & hope she starts eating enough to make up for lost time.
