Hey guys, I was talking to my husband this weekend about the snakes and in particular about Crawly. I have been having some issues with her and feeding, but not with any of the others.

The first week I fed, I fed her a mouse fuzzy, which she stuck immediately and gobbled down.

Second week, I tried a rat fuzzy, got absolutely no response.

Third week I tried a rat fuzzy again, she didn't strike, but I left it in her hide overnight and she ate.

Fourth week, rat fuzzy, again no response. Left the rat overnight, but she still did not eat it.

Fifth week, rat fuzzy, she struck immediately and gobbled it down.

This week rolls around, absolutely no response, left overnight, still she didn't eat.

Now I realize she has been eating every other week pretty consistently, however, I noticed a curious pattern in regard to her food. Every rat/mouse she has eaten has been white. The two I witnessed her strike and immediately devour were in fact solid white while the one she ate overnight was white with just a tiny bit of brow on its head. Could that be a coincidence?

My husband said he had heard of imprinting before, where an animal becomes used to a particular color or size of food and refuses anything else. Has anyone heard of that with snakes? Could she be favoring white rats or is this just a coincidence and she's more than likely just a slower eater?
