The 5 month fasting period is officially over. I finally convinced my 2 year old male normal blitz that it was time to stop being a chode and eat. Thanks to my friend Joe Ellis and i pretty crazy little trick he finally decided to stop being stubborn. Phew its nice to have that over with. Im going to give him about 5 days or so and then try to give him a med rat and hopefully he keeps up the good work. It was the best feeling ever seeing him hit that rat

What was the trick? Do share!

Well I went to the pet store today and was going to just look around (yeah right lol) well a pretty well- know. Breeder in these parts named Joe Ellis and I were talking and he told me to try this. I bought a small rat and he put some mouse bedding in there for scent and he told me to feed my ball in a pitch black room and to shine a flashlight on the mouse kind of like a spotlight effect and surprisingly that's all it took. He rocked that rats world.

Yeah share the trick I have a couple that are being hard headed. My Spider girl finally ate after a month. Unfortunately she would only take a mouse. She was eating rats. Now she won't take a rat


I posted to slow. I will have to try that.

Very cool. I hope he gets back to his regular feeding schedule. I'm pretty sure I've met Joe. Might have been at Animal Jungle a few years back.

Yes!!! Awesome, glad your snake is eating for you again. did you feed live?

[dereklondon24]

yeah i did feeed live, i usually have to when he goes on those long fasts its really the only way hell eat after all that time but i def sit there like an over worrying parent and grab the rats legs so it cant dig into him when hes constricting

[dereklondon24]

della try putting mouse bedding in a small box with a rat and leaving it in there for a while.
