[xXGregXx]

hey guys about an hr ago i gave rocky a medium f/t rat and the rat is still in side the tank. i dont kno if he's still full from last week or he's just not eating. i gave him the same size rat last week and multiple weeks before this week and he has eatn them without any problem so0o i have no idea whats goin on. will he not eat because its getting colder ? i dont kno what to think

good new i left the rat inside of the cage and went to the mall 4 like a couple hrs with my cuz and when i came home the was no more rat. how come it took him a lot longer to eat the rat his week that it did last week? was it because he was still full from last weeks rat?

need to be careful about leaving rodents in the cage unsupervised. rats especially can be agressive. they will attack and sometimes even kill the snake. it could be a number of things that led the snake to not eat immediately but i dont suggest leaving the rat in the cage when you arent there to watch. next time, just pull the rat out and try again a bit later.

Sil-40 you might note that he mentions in his first post that the rat was f/t (frozen thawed), so not a live rat left unattended.

Maybe he just needed a bit more privacy or quiet Greg before he felt ready to eat. Hard to say really as they are such unique creatures and will surprise you at every turn.
