YEA Andy finally ate!!!

[led4urhead]

Andy finally ate!!! I'm so happy. I've had her for a little over a month now, and Chris had her for almost two months before that and we couldnt get her to eat. I woke up on Wednesday and found her to be actively shedding, so after the successful shed on Wednesday I decided to try to feed her again today. I tried a small baby rat and she took it right down. Now all i hope is that i can get her on some kind of regular feeding schedule.


As some of you know, i am now the owner of Andariel's ball python ( i call her Andy ) and this is the first time since either of us have had her that she has shed or eaten.

Was this before or after I told Chris all those wonderful tips? BTW, did you guys use them?

These are great days for the two of us, my non feeder took a gerbil last night after two months

I know exactly how good you're feeling

Congrats on getting her to eat! Was Andy wc? Or just on a seasonal fast?

[Andariel]

Yeah ball I told him to cover the walls of the tank, and I also let him borrow my humidifier bottle to add to the one he had since I don't have a humidity problem with the huge waterbowl in Sprocket's tank. The humidity is still a hair low but its up significantly from what it was before.

Prolly gonna leave the tank covered for a few more days, possibly till next feeding before removing them.

Marla: When I got her I was told she was CBB... but when I was debating gettin the BCI from there the manager slipped up and told one of the employees (in my presence) that the clutch I got Andariel from was WC and that there were two non-feeders. But like Carson said, she shed on weds and ate today so maybe this will finally mark the end of her winter shed. She was startin to scare me and him cause she was gettin a lil thin in the scales. So we went over today and got her a rat pup. Didn't wanna go with anything to big for her since she was weak from not eatin all winter, and when Carson put the rat pup in the tank it was just a lil smaller than her diameter so it was about the right size. She didn't strike it right away so being that the rat pup hadn't even opened its eyes yet we just left it in the tank with Andariel, and when I came in to check on her 5-10 minutes later she had a lump in her and the pup was gone.

Its a big relief to know that she finally ate, and that she's in a great home.

[Marla]

Whew! That is a relief. Sounds like you got played dirty, though. I wouldn't trust anything those folks had to say from now on.

[Andariel]

Yeah I'm not even gettin feeders or anything from there no more. PLus with my upcoming planned move to IL I won't have to deal with them at all.

[Marla]

Illinois? I thought you were moving to DC? But at any rate, that's good, not supporting pet stores with deceptive business practices.
