Here's the situation
My biggiest snake -2 years old, 800 grams, eats whatever I offer her, I just fed her yesterday 2 ASF around 25 grams each, biggiest she has eaten has been a 50 gram adult ASF
This morning I wake up to one of my rats dead, 114 gram rat. Only had the rat for 4 days or so, hasnt been eating or was sick before I got it.
Well now its dead and my snake wont take the rat, I put the rat in the snake tub as soon as I seen it, its been about 4 hours, so I heated it with a blow dryer- failed, then I soaked in hot water-failed. My snakes follows it but wont strike. She just checks it out and watches it. I rolled the rat in ASF bedding also. My snake has never ate a rat before also, but she is a hungry eater and has never gave me a problem switching from mice to ASF and back at all.
Should I freeze the rat and save it for next week? I was thinking of cutting the rats tail off to make it appear smaller, my snake has never eaten a rat so big before.![]()
