    Hey guys, RiverDragon459 is asking for help and suggestions. Lets try to keep to the topic of a fellow herp enthusiast who admits to being new to the industry and having concerns about her bp not feeding! None of us know everything but all of know something! Its not to be looked at as forcing a bp to swim, but to get the most out of a proven therapy that is worth a try. Personally, it worked for me here at aareptiles after a breeding bp of mine went off feed after breeding to several females. The treatment is also researched at Darkman Reptiles. com . It may work and it may not. Its not a one size fits all approach. Remember, water is the staff of life for all living organisms. Also, remember its the benefits of appetite stimulation, rehydration, though the respiratory tract and the cloaca. Peace, A.C.
