    Of all of your snakes..........

    Of all of your snakes, which is the best feeder? Which is the worst? Someone has claimed that they have found a morph connected with feeding habits and I wanted to see if there were any realism in the claim.

    I will start with my female mojo as consistently being the best feeder in my collection. My worst feeder (consistently of course) being my female pastel.

    Both my female spiders and my female ghost have the best response they will all eat in shed and will always eat.. they even beg. Close second is my female lesser and het ghost, also my male butter is a pretty good feeder. My male Mojave has been the worst but finally is eating rats and F/T. My boys are much more calm about feeding only do it every week to 2 weeks. Now my male blood is a champion

    Best one of my female spiders.

    Worst female mojo and one of my female lessers sometimes they'll grow out of it.

    All of mine are pretty good feeders, but my ph caramel glow and my lemon pastel are ALWAYS looking for seconds.

    My worst feeder has to be my pastel yellow belly. She went on a 2-2.5 month fast and she's only 350 grams. I finally got her to take a weaned rat last week.

    All of mine eat f/t too.

    All of mine eat well but my male spider is a beast. I will barely bring the thawed rodents into the reptile room and he will be smelling around for food.

    Most of mine do pretty good on live rats. I hatched a male supe pastel this year and he is a beast. I offered a mouse the day he shed and he refused so I threw in a rat pup. He slammed it almost before it hit the floor of the tub. He has not refused since even in blue. When rats come in the room he is in the front of the tub waiting.

    My best would be my male granite. He takes them almost as soon as they hit the tub. Followed very close by my big female normal. She seems to want a rat every time I walk in the room.
    Both of my female pastels have yet to refuse a meal.

    My worst is my mojo male and other normal female they usually both refuse a meal before taking one. Could also be that they are still getting use to the larger size.
