Is this real life?

you do know that mice will poop in that cage

I had my black pastel,lay next to a rat pup when I first tried to make the switch from mice to rats..he layed next to it for like 20 mins after staring at it for well over an hour. The first 90 mins was him staring at it,the last 20-30 was cuddling then all I remember hearing was squeezing,since then any rat pup I put in,is taken out within a couple minutes now

That honestly is exactly what my snake does. They have a stand off for what seems like forever then you check on him a few minutes later and they're cuddling. I don't understand, I've tried everything.

That's one of the reasons I don't feed in my terrarium.

Yeah it's weird man,my one snake that I'm talking bout is very shy and weird when it comes to eating. Sometimes he wll take the rat pup as soon as he comes put of his hide,other they have a stand off for what does seem way long.. I usually turn my day bulb off and my night bulb on,then he comes out and does his thing,very shy.

but my ghost,forget about it. As soon as a rat is dropped in,he pops his head out immediately,within seconds. At times he won't even get out of his hide to strike. He will be in his hide with his head and strike and knock the hide put of the way or on top of him or sideways,lol..he has no patience when it comes to food,he's a little pig.

This is my ghost about an hour ago. The rat walked by the entrance and he wasn't even out and struck,knocked the hide side ways and on top of him and he was buried in the Eco earth...so I removed the hide,pull the rat by the tail to get it out from the dirt which it was buried in with Kocurs head.. As soon as he was done eating,I put the hide right back on top of him.

Holy crap that's sweet. My snake never had this problem. But this sucks I'm starting to worry for my snakes health, I just want him to start eating again.

What most people say here is husbandry at times,depending on the snakes age can be an issue..I was told that babies should be pretty much eating steady,but heard when they hit a certain weight,them going off feed can happen and be normal..how big is he and how much does he way?

i wouldn't worry,I'm sure he is fine. Just make sure all your temps are right.humidity is right etc...make sure he feels secure etc...

Babies usually eat like pigs unless something's wrong with their husbandry. What's the cage like? ( <-- Post a pic) Usually problems are encountered with tanks since it's hard to maintain humidity, heat, and security.
