Ok here is the deal,
I adopted this female BP last week, She is about a year old @2.2 ft. SHe shed on friday, and had mites when I got her . ( now she is all cleaned up and otherwise looks very healty and active, except that she gets spooked very easy especially when handled. Almost always hydes her head or is looking to hyde somewhere in the wrinkles of my clothes unlike my other Bp which is 4 months old and doesn,t care what I do with him and never curls into a ball. So anyway I tried feeding her (the 1yr old) a thawed mouse and it smelled it a few times but it never even got in a striking position .She smelled it the way she smells my hand. After 15 min I gave up and offered the same mouse to the younger Bp. It too hesitated a little bit but ate it. I thawed another mouse after that and tried again with the bigger snake ,left the mouse with the snake for an hour but still didn't eat it . I gave up again and gave the mouse to the smaller snake and it ate it no problem.So should I frozen rats or offer live mice or small rats ?
The guy that had it before said it ate frozen mice n.p. sometimes with a little hesitation but like I mensioned before he never took good care of her so I don't believe a word because he said he got the snake from another guy only a month ago. Also like I mensioned before I'm guessing the snake hasn't been handled too often before and perhaps that's why it gets spooked like that. Please advice , Thank You confused:
