He’s very very docile for sure. When I first picked him up to take him out of his original shipping package he did not even care. Did not pay me a single bit of attention. I’m going to do exactly what you suggested on his next feeding. I honestly don’t think I like the baby snake phase very much and If he never takes frozen thawed I’m definitely going to wish I chose a different breeder. I’m sure everything will be ok thoughOriginally Posted by Bogertophis
You just need to be careful...this rosy only ate twice before you got him...that's not much for a rosy boa. When I raised & sold rosies, none of them ate fewer
than 10 times & ALL were taking f/t easily before they left my house...that way I knew they were as well-started as could be & would be easy for a new owner.
If he's too shy to accept from tongs, I'd try leaving it on a jar lid (for a plate) inside his favorite hide -without touching him- and doing this before you turn lights
out & go to bed that night. Check in the morning & hope it's gone. Yes, wait a week before trying again. He's never taken f/t so it's a tough sell at first. It also
sounds like yours is a more docile type...the ones I raised were mostly "scrappy" (willing to bite) & they're easier to get feeding...an accidental bite gives them a
taste of food & they end up deciding to eat whatever they bit. Unless it was me, lol...I always escaped.I’m positive and Leo is always out exploring like he should at the right times.
