    Morph Related Feeding response

    Hi Guys

    I could not find anything on the forum about this and I was wondering if you guys could share your experience with regards to feeding and specific morphs.

    If you have more then 1 of each morphs, have you experienced certain morphs feeding much better then others?

    I have heard spiders have a great response and I have witnessed that with mine but I have just 1 spider so it isn't a great comparison.

    The only morph I have really had problems with are pastels. They just suck. Poor feeders and breeders....even most of the combos. Pastels just suck at life.

    My Spider male is the only male I have that will continue to eat while actively breeding.

    I dont think there is a general response from a certain morhph. I first thought my spiders have horrible feeding responses until I purchased one that is a hog.

    This subject has come up from time to time and the consensus always seem to be the same...every individual snake has their own personality and habits. The morph has little to do with how well they eat or don't eat.

    Same answer for aggressiveness, number of eggs laid, and breeding ability for males. The morph doesn't affect the outcome. (Desert females may be the exception, for obvious reasons)

    My little male pastel is the best feeder of all my snakes. He eats live or f/t, he doesn't care as long as it is food.

    i am gonna go out on a limb here and say i think it is more blood line related on how the offspring's feeding habits are, if the parents were poor feeders then possibly the lil ones will be as well. i know crazy talk right, LOL
