I'm happy about this so I felt like sharing. I have a captive hatched female I got in 03'. From day 1 she has been an on & off feeder. Picky would be an under statement! First it was only mice. Then by her 3rd year she would take small rats but only white ones. Eventually she would take medium/large rats but only maybe 2-3 per month if I was lucky. After a long fast, I started giving her ASFs to get her fattened up faster after laying eggs so she got hooked on them. Oi... But she ate every week this way.

A couple more years go by. She decides she now only wants ASF or mice and maybe the occasional small white rat but only if I sneak a prekilled in as she coils the ASF. I had to trick her often and she still had her random fasts.

For the first time EVER last week, I simply put a medium, dark colored, prekilled rat in her tub and low and behold, she actually ate it! No hesitation!

I'm just shocked. Never before would she ever touch anything that wasn't alive or white. I hope this isn't just another of her phases. We shall see!
