Skin folds and not eating

[Pyrate81]

1. Welcome to the forums.

2. Your snake does seem thin, I'd be more worried about shape and seeing spine; the folds are less of a concern.

3. That snake looks big enough to eat a medium-sized mouse so I would personally up foodsize to rat pups or mice.

4. Your "breeder" sounds like an idiot and I would stop giving him/her money.

5. Lay low on handling your snakes for awhile and make sure your husbandry is up to par.

6. Xena(love the name) should not need to be force fed. It stresses them out and will cause more harm then good. Let her settle then offer her something of which she can actually sink her teeth into like a rat pup.

7. I assume both of these snakes are under a year old. They can be fed every 5 days. Feeding Tuesdays then Thursdays is is stressing them out more than necessary.
