White-lipped python

[Craiga 01453]

I lowered the basking heat as you suggested to 89-90. Temps on hot side are 86 (ambient). The cool side is 82-83 right now, but they decrease over the course of the evening-night into the high-70s.

I figured it was worth a shot, I know I've heard mixed things about it. But basically, I put a small cut on the skull to to see if that extra scent would entice him to eat. Nothing excessive

I don't know how effective it is, maybe it varies by individual/species. I think some use this method for finicky eaters, or when transitioning over to different prey items

Just wanted to chime in and say that in all my years in this hobby I literally heard of braining working ONE time and it was just recently.

I always suggest being consistent when offering. Feeding the same prey the snake was eating before coming to you in the same method is typically what gets them started.

Gorgeous WLP by the way. I've been casually looking for a CBB for a bit. I'm running out of room, but a WLP is definitely on the short list
