I always assume the snake hasn't eaten when I get it shipped in, unless I'm told otherwise. I do try to see when the last time a snake ate when I buy it. But you know how big breeders can be.( Doug aka sho220 told me the exact date) The one snake I picked up at a show actually didn't eat day one and come to think of it, its the only on that didn't eat day one for me. I imagine being on display might have had something to do with it, or maybe he just got a meal........guess I'll never know.Originally Posted by Slim
OP, when you have an animal shipped from a breeder, most times they have not eaten for a week prior to shipment (standard shipping protocol) and will often eat on day one. Nothing wrong with this technique
Rob, do you do the same when you bring an animal home from a show? Just wondering if the stress of being on display and such would have any impact on them wanting to eat right away.
