Python Reticulatus Wallace Progression!

[Sauzo]

The boy skipped medium rats and plunged into larges yesterday.

I was planning on feeding the smalls for a little longer, but after the royal refused, yet again, I sent the rat over to the carpet who refused as well. I was not up for feeding the boa another live large rat so I let Wallace have a go at it. It was over quickly and he was fine with the size.

I won't necessarily keep the larges going every time, but the option is there now.

He hits a year old June 1 and after I drain the remaining small rats here, I'll be feeding large rats and the quail equivalent probably every 14 days.

Haha welcome to the club. Caesar pounds larges like they are a candy bar. They actually only leave a small lump in him. And you're lucky you can get 14 days out of Wallace. Caesar makes it known when he wants food. Lat night was day 7 and he was PISSED lol. He shoved his giant dog bowl water bowl all over, shoved both hides around and destroyed everything. I woke up to piles of aspen, hides spun around and shoved under the shelves and his water bowl shoved in the warm corner under his shelf.

He also learned how to hold the litter dam and slide down the cage stack to the floor and then release his tail and go exploring haha. I had the door open and was watching tv. And i look to see Caesar on the floor sitting next to the cages all stretched out haha. Put him back and within 15 mins, he was doing it again.

And same here, my BP hasnt eaten since like early February. I just offer her one a week and if she isnt grabbing it in 2 mins, Caesar gets a small rat also. Dont really have the patience anymore for picky eaters lol. Get 2 mins to decide or you go hungry for a week.

Kind of weird your carpet refuses food. Allie used to attack me all the time but one thing she had going for her, she ate like a freakin horse lol.

Sometimes i wish Caesar was more laid back like Wallace for food lol. He isnt as bad as when he was a baby but he definitely lets you know when he wants dinner.

On a side note, I have begun working with being able to pet him on the head lol. Sometimes he's good about it and other times, he's like 'why are you touching my head!!' and he turns around and wanders off. The boas are all good about it and i can pet Rosey or Vicky on the head and even hold it without much if any fuss. Gina is pretty good about it too but Rango is like Caesar, some days ok, some days, he just turns around and wanders off lol.
