    All the snakes are fed!

    Today, all seven of my ball pythons ate today with no problems. Had a couple come out of shed this week, so glad to see them back on feed. Went through 9 rats and 2 mice today. Good day.

    Nice. All of mine eat even when in shed, well with the exception of my new butter. He's only 53 grams though, and he's eaten once for me since I got him on Dec 15. He ate on the 20th which is feeding day then he went into shed the following week and wouldn't eat.

    Most of mine have eaten on shed, but one of the ones that just came off didn't. Glad to see her packing it back down. I'd like to be able to breed, and I always feel like I'm losing time whenever they don't want to eat.

    Even if you get them to a certain weight, sometimes they don't breed when you want them to. I've seen some take 2-3 years to breed. So don't rush anything my friend, it'll happen

    Definitely understand that. But I figure the more females I have of the appropriate size, the better my chances. But I'm enjoying the ride no matter what. Love all of my snakes, and am looking at getting a few more in the next couple of months.
