You guys are fretting over nothing.

Why did you get into bps if you're not willing to deal with the hunger strikes? I have a female pastel that hasn't eaten since last July and she just gave me 5 eggs... we think they have to be huge and fat to breed. Wrong. They know what's best for them and if they have eaten, they will again.

I have an Ornate monitor who happily takes care of anything refused, lol.
