Hi all, I'm new here but not so new to snakes. My normal, 5 month old male hadn't eaten for nearly 2 and a half months and after trying every trick in the book (except for live - I think it's illegal where I live) I decided that I would have to assist feed him. He tried spitting the rat pinkie out once but the second time he kept it in and ate it - much to my relief. So now I'm wondering how do I get him to take food on his own? Should I just go back to offering the pinkies on tongs? I usually feed my snakes in a separate container, force of habit more than anything else, so will he start striking after a couple of assist feeds? Does anyone have any experiences they can share with me?
Any advice will be much appreciated, thanks
