If you've bought her from a reputable breeder and it has eaten before I wouldnt worry to much. Just keep an eye on that husbandry.

Normally BPS from pet stores that have probs eating may have never eaten before and have been shipped accross the globe and are more of a problem. Some of those will eat straight away, some after alot of attemps will eat and some sadly will just die unless you force feed them. Pet stores dont GENERALLY keep the animals properly husbandry wise either so that doesnt help matters.

Nice pick up though

Im after a lesser or a pastave possibley if i can get one. So much easier for you USA folks. Not many big breeders that have a good selection here from what i can find. Not many females for sale either.

What a looker! I just got my first BP about two weeks ago and fed him the other day for the first time. It was nothing, but I guess I just got lucky with my guy. I think the most important thing is heating the rat up right. I let it sit in room temperature all day and tried feeding him and he was completely uninterested. As soon as I took the hair dryer to the thing he snatched it right up. Go with the dryer. Thats my tip

Thanks everyone!

merdcme, haha I think I'm already addicted, I got a cornsnake last year, so this makes Lemon my 2nd snake

A.Vincze, did you find any animals to add to your collection? I like going to the Mississauga expo, even just to look around I'm from Markham, ON, pretty close. Lemon's roaming resembled what my cornsnake does when he's hungry... i hope the similar behaviour means the same thing.

Nicole, I remember someone beside me at the expo looking for a Lesser female! Maybe it was you lol!

Briana, Thanks for the tip, I usually dunk the thawed mouse in hot water before giving it to my cornsnake, maybe the hair dryer makes it yummier

Just one, I only went for rats and came home with more anyway. I plan to add to my collection this weekend.

As long as he only roams a little bit it's fine, if he keeps it up there might be something wrong with the enclosure. If you think he's hungry feed him and watch his behavior closely, they're not much for exploring even when hungry.
