    Re: Feeder variety pros and cons

Surprisingly, one of my most ambitiously feeding rosies struck, constricted and then dropped a link. Overall, Reptilinks have not been a big hit -- they don't come off as overly palatable.

    I'm offering the links inserted into FT prey that the snakes will accept -- a bit tedious and slightly messy, but it may work alright to get the variety I'm trying to add. Next time I'll order smaller sizes so that I can use them as fillers.
    How's it going with the Reptilinks? It's been a few months. Any luck getting your other snakes to take them? I have an order of Megablend links for my Children's python coming in tomorrow.
