The perfect feeling

[KING JAMES]

So I bought a Lemon Blast male a while back that would only take mice to the tune of about 3-5 per meal. Been trying to switch him over to rats for a few months now (I breed rats and not mice so I don't like having to buy mice from the pet stores for jacked up prices) Been doing things like scenting with mice and ASFs, feeding him a small mouse then offering a crawler rat once he was "in the mood", offering him a crawler with all lights out, etc. Well this morning I got tired of waiting and did what you are never supposed to do. I started out by removing his hide and water bowl from his tub and the I just dropped the rat in his tub. The rat I used was just under wean size as I wanted something that would move around a bit more than a crawler. Then I just walked away for about 30 minutes. I came back to am angry looking snake but no rat . I felt like pushing my luck so I dropped another one in...his feet barely hit the bottom of the tub. I really really really hope this is a sign of things to come and he know knows that rat = food.

Well this gives me some hope that mine will take rats eventually.

Just did this with another female of mine that would not take rats and she took it!!! (waited 40mins before checking on with no hides/bowl/sub) I feel like jumping up and down yelling..I guess I just needed to be more patient and let them sit in the tubs until they take it. That was my last one that was on mice if she takes next time too I will probably die from being so happy.
