Of all of your snakes..........

My best feeder is my female piebald. She is about 1.5 years old and right around 1500 grams. She has only ever refused one meal. She will eat in shed, mice, rats, live, or f/t. Not picky at all.

My worst feeder is a female albino. She is about 2 years old and just under 1000 grams. She is extremely picky about when she eats. It really does not matter if I offer mice, rats, live, or f/t, she only eats when she feels like it. This one makes me wish I had ASFs available to me.

My best feeders are my male normal and female YB (both pound food consistently) and my worst is my male Pastel Hypo.

Looks like a lot of pastels on here aren't very good feeders, huh? Strange...

Our best feeders are a male spider, a female spider and a normal female. They are bottomless pits and will eat anything, anytime. A close second would be our pastel male. Worst feeder is one of our cinnamon males. He only eats once every 4-6 weeks. I really do not like him at all, he has been nothing but trouble and is a jerk.

We've never had a spider that wasn't a great eater for us. They also have the most personality in my opinion.

my best is a 2500 gram female normal and normal het albino girl. Worst but a long shot - my bumblebee male.

In my pair of bp's, my female normal (Petco snake) is very picky and her food has to be - mouse, white, dry, reheated to 105-110f and she still only eats 2 out of 3 meals.

My male pastel (TSK) will eat anything I give him, he would probably eat a brick if I sented it.

My Lessers and ghost have the strongest feeding response are my best feeders and eat every week without a miss. My Black Pastels are hit and miss but pretty regular. My het caramel albino's usually wont eat at all, my het male eats about every 3 weeks sometimes longer and Ive been force feeding the het caramel female for almost a year now, she is just recently starting to grab it on her own after I attempt to force feed. My het albino's, yellowbelly's, spiders, pastels, pinstripe, and Fires are pretty average regular feeders.

My best feeders are my female het pied and Darthie, who I'm not sure quite what he is--he's the guy in my avatar. Minnie came from a reputable breeder and arrived in excellent health. Darthie arrived looking as skinny as a garter snake. He's made up for it.

Worst feeder is a female mojave. She is very hit and miss and will only consider taking live rats.

My personal take on all of this, is that good eaters and poor eaters probably pass on their traits to their offspring. I sometimes get clutches of mainly picky eaters, and others where the babies all start up with no issues at all.

I hold back only good eaters for breeders, as a result. If a morph I want to hold back doesn't start eating right away, and eat whenever food is offered, I don't keep it, even if it's pretty. Best way to improve lines is to breed animals with the traits you want.
