I'm looking to add a blood python to the stable and a local girl has a pretty snake. She has had her 5 months and suspects she's less than a year old. The people she got her from said she was eating frozen/thawed but the snake has refused to eat for her the whole time she's had her. She says she still grows and sheds but won't eat. She's tried frozen/thawed, live, all the tricks in the book people are suggesting but would rather cuddle with a live rat than strike It and eat it. I'd love to have a blood python in my zoo but I don't want to purchase a snake that may end up dying a month or two down the road. My ball python, Amazon tree boa, Colombian rainbow boa and white sided black rat snake all seem to eat like champs. With all the local people that are snake hobbyists, I would have figured someone could have given her a good tip by now. Any of you wanna throw your .02 in?
