Feeding Issues?
Hey all, I have heard so many people having feeding issues for their bp's. I don't want to jinx myself (knock on wood ) but I have never had a refusal. I have fed all my snakes f/t, f/k, and live. I have fed after weighing and cleaning tubs (just last night I did this for all of them), while in shed, right after shed, while blind (clouded eyes), both rats and mice. I have done this with all of them (no exceptions) and (knock on wood again) have not had any feeding issues. Am I just lucky or had anyone else seen this? I have had one for 3 years the others for under a year. Just curious. Now that I am saying this my problems will begin .

lol u just jinxed yourself.
but for real, the odds are against ya with the number of snakes u have. one or more will go off feed and stress u out. my longest was my Clown girl who went off feed for like 6 weeks. she's was still a baby approaching 200grams now, but only takes live.
it will happen to u, hopefully it will be minimal.

lol thanks AX. I figure it will all end eventually but just was wondering at my good luck streak and if anyone else has had it this way. Might need to go to the casino

i throw u a few bucks for Powerball tickets while you're on your hot streak. 
if u plan to breed, a hunger strike is almost inevitable with breeding females.

Maybe i will . Yes breeding is in the plans for the future so I know going off feed will be inevitable.

Congrats. I hope I can keep it going. All mine are in a rack though males and females side by side...I figure once those females get up to size there are going to be some interesting things happening and my lucky streak will probably be over.
