    So pleased

    About a year and half ago I hatched a bunch of corn snakes well all the Hypos ate the amels didn’t,I tried everything to get the pair feeding but nothing,so I assist fed them ,I sold the Hypo and still no luck with the amels.lasy August at a year old one of them decided to eat and a friend at work brought him any way fast forward with stupid amount of trying at Christmas I put the feed to a couple of times a week to bulk him out on pinkies,3weeks ago I upt him to fluffs well I’ve been assisting him but trying to let him feed himself,tonight I defrosted another fluff and attempted to hold it for him to attempt to feed,well this time he was actually sniffing like mad and just opened his mouth and ate,only a year and half late So pleased is an understatement

    very glad to hear that! patience and persistence, keep it up!

    i have an Amel, 2 Corns total. i'm lucky that both would eat prey right off of my tongs if offered in such a manner. i mean they won't even strike. i just put it right in front of their snoot and they bit and go through the slow process of swallowing.

    Re: So pleased

    Thanks Ax01 I was beginning to wonder if there was something wrong as he had no feeding response.
    when I was assist feeding I only had to open his mouth and put it in then it would eat himself that’s what I couldn’t work out I would leave him 2/3 weeks sometimes to try make him hungry so he would try him self
    But patients had definitely paid off .all the little hypos in the litter ate like pigs straight off, just the two amels
    all my Litter of boas ate straight away too last year

    i haven't hatched my own anything yet, so i'm fortunate that my Colubrids ate right off the bat. i remember being so worried that my Avalanche won't eat b/c he was hiding all the time and thought he was sold too small, too early. i put him back in the delicup i bought him in w/ a pinkie and he ate. pix after 1st meal w/ me.


    now he comes out hunting when he smells food.

    Edit: hopefully i'll hatch my first BP's this year and fingers and tails crossed that they will eat right away. i'm just so worried they won't. i've heard people losing whole clutches of GTP's b/c they won't eat. GTP's, Corns, BP's, etc. are different species but it's so worrisome when they won't eat and heartbreaking when u lose the babies.

    Very cute indeed .
    Yes I would be upset to loose whole clutches to non feeders that’s for sure ,it’s quite rewarding breeding your snakes ,Just having to give them up and finding suitable owners who care as much as you do is the worst thing
    My sons first snake was a snow corn,which ended up escaping after a few months and we found it 7 months later 3doors up,they was pulling there conservatory down and he fell Out the roof.they was pretty freaked out lol, luckily there don knew mine and we got him back,he grown a fair bit ,so he must of fed him self and hibernated thru our winter which was -7/8 some nights ,just Shows there survival instincts,
    Good luck with your breeding
