Picky Feeder HELP D;
So my Male Het Albino is from Mark Mandic which I bought from him July 8th. Since then he's only ate once. Mark was feeding him live and I'm trying to get him to eat frozen thawed. Any tips at all ? He's getting very skinny

Offer him live and slowly try switching him to F/T.. get some food in him, get him eating good the try and sneak a F/T off on him..

Feed him live............why let your snake get skinny b/c you want it to eat a certain meal? Once you snake starts losing weight is when you need to cave and feed him/her what will get them to eat not what you want them to.
Once he is nice a plump again then you can try and convert him.

I fed my adult BP a live mouse for starter, then waved the a small ft rat right in front of him and he took that too. Did this for a couple of feeds then he took the ft rat on its own, and still does.
Good luck.
