I got my hets last week. The breeder that i got them from gave me two rat pups to feed them. I waited three days and pre-killed them. I just ha to get rid of these rats bcuz of the room and I felt sorry for them knowing I was gonna feed them, Well anywayz my Boy eddie ate his so I was pretty happy with that but my girl seems to be more interested in escaping. Ill try again sunday feeding her a prey item a lil smaller than a rat pup, like a hopper..


Thats another thing depends on your length of there acclimation. I put a towel around my tank and use a nightlight for all day use eept night. This to my opinion will put the snake at ease. And Once awhile the snake wont eat a prey item they know they cant consume. Also if there used to eating live mice theyll sometimes wont touch a dead rat just sitting there. Try getting forcepts in a about a week of acclimation and dangle the rat/mouse in front of the bp. See what happens. If nothing then there just on that off- feeding time.
