Dianne,

How old is Artemis and how much does he weigh?

I switched a 10 year old, wild caught BP, with a mild RI, that I was fostering, into eating F/T. You can probably switch Artemis as well, if that's what you want. You just have to be more patient than he is stubborn, without risking his health.

Also, not sure what the weather has been in Virginia, or if that's a major factor, but Shayna (Female 6 year old Albino Spider BP) started her winter fast 7 weeks ago. That might be a factor too.

Glad Belle ate for you!

I know you've been keeping snakes for a while, but not sure if F/T is a new thing for you. I have a step by step process (a list) of how to properly defrost a frozen rodent. I will only send if you request as I don't want to seem condescending. You've been keeping snakes as long as I have.

Keep us in the loop.
