    Update on Juice. Fingers crossed....

    The end of December will be two years since I've had my Borneo boy Juice. As some of you know he's been a pain in the rear end as far as eating consistently and taking F/T is concerned. He's the only snake I've ever had any feeding trouble with at all. I even considered rehoming him because I felt like he wasn't thriving in my care. I aim for all of the animals in my care to thrive, not just survive, and I felt like I was failing him.

    Well, fingers crossed....
    He's now taken F/T 5 out of the last 6 offerings and 4 in a row!!!! I'm not out of the woods yet, but this is the most optimistic I've felt with him in at least a year. It wasn't easy, but I'm thinking I'm there!! Finally!! The last 4 he hit SUPER hard as soon as I opened his door. He's got his face practically pressed against the glass once he smells rats in the room.

    All good signs and I'm feeling good about my boy!!! Hopefully he keeps it up, I'd like to see him put on some weight, he's definitely a bit thin for a Blood/STP.

    I'm glad I decided to work with him for a while longer, he's an awesome animal and generally a complete sweetheart.

    Thanks to all who have offered advice and well wishes for Juicey boy, we both appreciate it!!!!

    Great news Craig! I knew you could do it.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    That's awesome! I hope he keeps on the good streak.
    Once I finally got my blood taking f/t, he's been a consistent feeder since. I hope the same for yours!

    Just wanted to say LOVE the name Juice. It sounds like Juice is on his way. I love the nose at the door at feeding time. It always does my heart good.

    Thanks! He's named after the character from Sons of Anarchy.
    He's such a chill snake, but when it comes to feeding time he turns into a completely different animal....I call him Juiceifer, hahaha, pure evil!
