    She's not a beast anymore!!!

    She's a late 08 ever since feb.2010 when she hit 945 close to a 1000 grams she just has not been eating the same. I still try to feed her every week once a week. Ive got her up to 1200 almost but she skips a month or two at times. Is this normal? Is she ever going to eat like she use to?

    Would trying different foods help getting them to eat again? Maybe mice instead of rats?

    Someone told your snakes that there is "a 1000 gram wall" that they have to climb over, and they said no

    Why not live if she will eat it on a regular basis?

    I feed live all the time. As do many breeders. Snakes naturally eat live and wont get hurt under your proper provision. But whatever works for ya.

    small ASF is how I got her to eat, I scented a small rat and she ate that as well a week ago. This week no luck. I just dont know if she will ever get back on track.
