So I guess my Main concerns is how would I know that he isn't actually hungry. I wait a full 48hrs before holding after eating. I've personally never ran into this issue before! He has noticeable ( I'm ready to eat signs) and I want to be held signs. When hungry he will only poke his head out and strike the cage if I come near or attempt to open. I do remove and feed in another enclosure! Where as when he is asking to be held he climbs his branch at the top of the enclosure, and when I open he will come right to me or my son. He isn't a baby and I only adopted him because they told be personally they couldn't feed him. That wasn't fair to him not one little bit, But now I'm getting concerned because I've never come across a snake so inconsistent. He was on a feeding schedule, a great one, He wanted two small rats he got it.
I purchase the frozen mice from PetCo.
in addition I am in no way trying to fatten him up, I just want to make sure he feels fed! If I were to let him sit for a week feed another small rat would he continue to strike or would he let me hold him, We enjoy our time with him. I've already fed him the small RATS, I'll give everyone an update in 48hrs if anything has changed or if he continues to strike.
