The picky girl in question has not eaten for us at all. Before we bought her, we asked if we could get her feed records, but the seller said they don't keep feed records - they put a sticker on the tub if the snake refuses, and they won't sell a snake that has refused food twice, and she had no stickers... so she was eating before we got her. :\ v frustrat

She was just over 1100 g when we got her, so it's very possible that she was on the verge of hitting that "1k wall" prior to being sent off... she's also got some spider in her, and I call her "Ditzy" - I have a theory that her wobbleditz might have made the trip more traumatic for her, and she's just taking her SWEET STUPID TIME to re-acclimate. The day she eats something for us, I'm going to throw a party.

My worm is eating Rat Pups <3 My husband's Carpet is our resident garbage disposal! She's gained a third of her weight since we got her, and her strike is ferocious... but she's so funny, we can't just put the food down, she insists that we dangle and wiggle it for her. She knows it's dead - she'll come out and sniff at it, then pull her head back in - she doesn't care, but we have to PRESENT it, because presentation is key!

I'm not sure about the food temp. We thaw to room temp, and if it feels cool we'll blast it with the hair dryer for a few seconds, and we've never had a problem except with this one idiot girl.

DH would like to branch out, but I don't think Boas are in our future. ;) He keeps showing me pictures of really pretty ones! But I think BPs are what I'm most comfortable with... anything that gets much larger than that starts registering on my scareometer.
