That's the reason I re-homed the BPs I had many years ago...after having them for some years, I had way too much else going on then & felt I was not the right owner for them. They're attractive snakes, the right size to be good pets & docile...but feeding them was such a hassle, & remember, I had no forum back then to ask either.Originally Posted by ckuhn003
But one thing, you mention taking your snake "all the time to teach the other kids about snakes" which is a noble cause but not if it causes your BP to go off-feed. I'm sure that "all the time" was an exaggeration, but it's still something you want to think twice about doing. There are plenty of mellow snakes that always feed great whether or not they do programs & meet strangers, but your BP might not be one of them. Stop doing that & see if it helps? BPs & most all snakes are so stoic it's very hard to read them & know if they're stressing. I know because I've been doing programs & "meet & greets" with my snakes for many years, & without my snakes fasting afterwards. But BPs are different.
