    Propr Introduction

    Hi Everyone!!

    I figured that a proper introduction was needed. I am fairly new here and I am a first time snake owner.
    I have had my female BP, Syka, for a week now and have finally fine tuned her living conditions.. and yesterday was feeding day.
    After hearing/reading the many problems of feeding i was very worried that she would refuse to eat. Especially being in a new place. Not only is she in a new place but she was previously feeing on smaller than adult mice. I was told that she should be feeding on rats.
    New place + new food ... didn't think this was going to go well.
    Plus the entire time my husband had doubts about it.

    Not even ten seconds I stood dangling her dinner, she was right in there. I was so proud!! Syka was a champ, right down to swallowing the tail.

    Makes momma proud, thats for sure!
