Hey,

Congrats on the snake! The Serpent Merchant hit it right on the nose. He needs bigger for sure. If he still wont keep eating frozen you may have to feed him live at least a few times and then wean him off of live and onto f/t. Search around the forum there is alot of good advice on how to make the switch and tips and tricks on how to make your bp take f/t.

Also on a side note. What bedding are you using? The stuff in the pictures in my eyes is a big no no. Thats just my point of view though. I say this because snakes WILL ingest their bedding if it is loose bedding like bark or shavings. Its happened to mine. Its happened to a lot of peoples but what worries me about what you have is that if it ingests one of those large pieces it will start choking and you are gunna have to stick your fingers down there to get it. I have read about it happening and have read a few people on here have had that happen. What if it happened during the night while you were sleeping or while you were out of your house. Its not a risk to take my friend.

I go with paper towels. Others go with news paper. Both work, think about it. It may end up saving your snakes life.


Good luck,
