That sounds awesome. I'll definitely suggest that. I just wish they wouldn't touch her as muchOriginally Posted by Bogertophis
One thing that might also help (since they're handling her anyway)- a little time outside in natural sunlight IF the temperatures are warm enough & also not too hot.
NEVER leave the snake in a container outside (the heat builds up quickly & they can & have died from heat strokes), but just handle her gently while taking a stroll outside, in & out of shade for about 10-20 minutes, making sure she doesn't overheat* at any time. *Remember always that we are roughly 98.6*, and a snake is getting additional heat from our hands+, so if it's over 80* outside, the snake may overheat much sooner thanks to our own added warmth- just adjust the time. And pay attention if she seems very restless- that can indicate discomfort with the temperatures too.
In my experience, it has seemed that the natural sunlight can perk up a snake's appetite (& metabolism)- it's worth trying, especially since they keep handling her anyway- might as well make it useful.
