Quick update: She ate for the first time last night...and it was certainly not what I expected. Chondros have this reputation of being aggressive and unpredictable, especially after it gets dark. Well....I slid open the glass door to her enclosure and reached in with the f/t mouse in the tongs and she slowly crept towards it....smelled it....and gently put her mouth on the mouse's head. When I let go with the tongs, she then proceeded to aggressively constrict....but I was very surprised at her easy-going feeding response. I am hoping that this doesn't mean that she will be a problem feeder for me in the future. She is 1 1/2 years old already, so she is an established eater. I'm probably just being neurotic.....lol.
