I have just successfully assist fed for the first time! I'm really excited
A little pastel girl has been on a hunger strike since I picked her up from from a show a while back.
Normally I would leave my snakes be, but her weight was rapidly dropping and her skin is starting to get really saggy.... She felt almost hallow...
So, after watching a few youtube vids on how to assist feed and a couple struggling attempts of the little girl spitting the rat pink out, she finally downed the rat.
It's such a relief! It's like a huge weight has been lifted the moment she finally ate that rat. I was getting extremely worried. All of my other snakes are perfect eaters, so this was an experience for me.
Thank goodness for the internet. It has so many good resources to get help.
Thanks for reading. I'm just so happy I had to share!
