    5 1/2 Month Fast Over!

    I just introduced a live mouse at the door while still in the box, open, trying to stimulate her with some aroma first- and WHAM!! She nailed it head on! While still in the box.

    She usually eats a ML-L live rat, so I offered a small rat afterwards. She played the o'l "scaredy cat game".

    So the Boa slammed the rat.

    At least the fast is over.

    The pic is the kill not the swallow.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    That looks like a BP and not a boa to me. And your boa fasted??!! Mine wont stop eating. Rosey is fat so she had to go on a diet and now that Vicky and I helped her shed she is gung ho for food and all curious about coming out. She spent half an hour sitting on my neck/shoulder and inspecting everything. Regardless, grats on the fast ending. Our snakes sure know the buttons to push to stress us out I love boas, so inquisitive, outgoing and not shy at all even as babies.

    I think they are meaning that the boa ate the rat after the BP refused it. Glad shes eating again! I've got two that have been off food for a over a month now!

    5 1/2 Month Fast Over!

    Sorry for the confusion. Yes, Asherah is correct.

    Boa on fast. Ate MOUSE. Then followed up with rat ((usual meal) which was refused.

    So gave the refused rat (second offering) to the garbage disposal, Boa.


    This is the Boa that ate the second meal.

    So the boa who fasted ate the mouse, then you offered a rat which he/she refused so you gave the rat to the boa? So the boa ate the mouse, refused the rat and then changed its mind and ate the rat!!?? I'm so confused Reinz!!! So where does this mysterious BP picture come from!!!??? OMG its like wheres Waldo but with snakes!

    5 1/2 Month Fast Over!

    BLONDE MOMENT!!!

    Reading all of those posts even confused me!

    BALL PYTHON on FAST now off fast

    MANY APOLOGIES!!!!

    I can't believe I did that.



    FASTING BALL PYTHON eats mouse



    BP refuses Rat as second meal, so BOA slams it!



    This post is correct.
