Re: Any1 have Grey-banded KS's?
I have an '06 0.1 Black Gap Blair's phase



She has been a great snake. Took a little owrk to get her switched to F/T but has been a champ feeder since then. If you have never delt with lizard feeders I highly recommend getting one that is already on mice just to make your life easier.

Re: Any1 have Grey-banded KS's?
I bought one for my best friend on her birthday. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics. It's been with her for 2.5 months now, and it still hasn't taken a meal. She's tried a lot of different things, lizards, mice, scenting, other crazy off-the-wall stuff ... but nothing has gotten him to eat. She says he's still growing and acting normal. We researched it and someone said that gb kings can live off their egg yolk for about 3 months. If that's true, then I guess that's what he's doing. If anyone has any tips on it, please let me know. And the set up is a 15q tub with correct temps, humidity, decor, etc.

Nice snake.
I love their lil eyes. Is that full grown?

@ N4S
No she is not full grown. I have not been pushing her and she was the runt of her litter. They tend to max out about the sixe of a smallish corn, a little over a meter or so and able to take adult mice.
@ Mindi
I am guessing you have but have you tried spliting the skull? Or just mouse parts (legs/tails)? And have you tried live pinks? Sometimes the need to start on live just to get a trigger on the whole mouse idea from the movement.
Also, personally I do not like scenting or lizard feeding for these. I know it is their natural prey and can be "helpful" in getting them to eat but GBKs can be real stubborn and just stay set on lizards if they get even a single taste of one. LIke I said, just my personal preference but I figured I would put it out there.
Lastly, while it is not exactly ideal and I would not advocate it unless it is an absolute last resort but an assist feed of a mouse tail might just work to get the animal a taste for mice.

Re: Any1 have Grey-banded KS's?
[QUOTE=If it reaches that 3 month mark and still hasn't eaten, she says she's going to force feed it. She's trying to hold off though.[/QUOTE]
You might want to try cooling it down for a month or two and see what happens. Sometimes these snakes do not eat until after their first brumation. I have 2 hatchlings that I produced that have not fed in 3 months. They have lost very little weight so I'm going to put them in the brumation room in a week or two. Just a thought.
