k so my male spider ball python refused the last 4 meals ive offered and then went into shed but he actually lost quite a bit of weight he got knocked back down to 650 or a little less i think but he finally shed today! and i offered him a fat rat and he took it in 3 seconds flat!! i love when stubborn eaters eat makes me feel relieved and happy on the inside haha ive had that rat for 4 weekss now so he got fattened up but i finally dont have to worry about my boy dying or wasting money on more rat food how many others get super stoked when their balls eat after refusing so many times?
