This^^ snake is THE most annoying frustrating hair-pulling snake in my collection. I've had her for 6 months now and she's only put on about 200g.
She was eating really good for awhile on rats and then suddenly...nothing. Acts like the rat isn't even a food item. So I try to hold out on her but after a month of refusals, I cave and give her a mouse. BAM! She hits that mouse like nobody's business.
Ok...so give her a few mice then start the process of converting her back to rats. What I do is warm the rats in the bag with the mice I'm also warming and that seems to give the rat enough scent to fool them.
So after a month or so of scented rats I try an unscented one. She eats it. I think, "Great! She's converted!" Yeah...no such luck.
So back to square one...hold out, cave in, convert back to rats...OK great.
So about a month ago she was eating unscented rats just fine...guess what...now she's refusing rats...acting like they're not even a food item.
I know what the little booger wants...I know she wants a mouse...
This is the 3rd time she's done this. She's SO frustrating!!
GRRRR!!!!!
Thank you all for listening to my vent.
