Hi,


It varies from snake to snake and sometimes it changes as they become more used to their routine and the environment around them.

Most of mine couldn't care less if I was dressed in euphonium's and woad and doing a wardance while they ate but my largest female is still shy and will not eat unless I am well away from her and the room is kind of still.

My hatchling was also shy at first but now doesn't give a hoot. The african house snake is even wierder - one week he will strike feed from my hand and go at it like a lunatic and the next week will sniff it but only eat if I lay it gently in front of him and walk away.

Basically it changes but if it won't eat it's always something worth considering.
