I only have one pied. I grew him fast from a hatchling to get him up to breeding size within his first year. He ate great, got up to breeding size, but still was not ready to breed. Now he is a picky eater. He will only eat when I put him back into a 6 quart tub. I normally keep him in a 28 quart tub, and have even tried hides. He will not use them. Is he a picky eater because he is a pied, or is he a picky eater because I fed him more often as a baby? I am not sure. Hopefully he will grow out of it.

I do have a het pied girl that is my best eater. She eats every time offered, and has put on the most weight of any of my ball pythons.
