    Re: Feeding! do you?

    Usually I'll give my snakes a couple of minutes and if they don't strike I'll wait a couple more days then try again. Usually by then they'll be hungry enough to strike right away.

    Re: Feeding! do you?

    depends on the snake if they normally strike right away and don't after a minute... well i just try again a few days later. some of my live eaters take a while so i check on them every so often and take it out after about a half hour if nothing happens i take it out. carpet pythons i just set it in their cage and they eat it sometime during the night. easiest things to feed. and the jag carpet, well she just simply always eats.... i havn't had a refusal yet. in shed, deep shed, after being taken out, cage being cleaned, cage dirty, she does not care.

    Mine strikes usually before I get it to the floor(live)! I would not leave it in longer than 20 minutes!
