    we're just trying to offer some help! let us know how the snake does when you feed. i always have had a hard time with my young female BP, i think its common to have some problems with the little ones.

    your scorpions have a great feeding response! i never saw any of my AZ barks go after anything like that..

    Man, I read a lot on many forums before I got my BP and I am still having problems. Like i didn't know they could hold their poo for a long time.

    But only those 4/6 respond like that the other two are scared of their food and eat what the others left over.

    Its hard to get everything right the first time, even if you do research, just make sure if you have any questions you ask! Tons of people will give you tips if you're having trouble in a certain area.

    Every one of my barks seemed scared of the crickets, but sometimes I would see one with some food in its mouth.. I've never seen them actually get excited about food before, its cool to see that on your video

    he looks much better! i never thought he looked underfed, just a little dehydrated.. but the shed probably played a part in that too.

    good job on getting that shed off, and good luck with your next feeding!

    Re: Video of my scorpions killing crickets

    Doesn't look anywhere near as bad. Thanks for the updated shot.

    How often are you handling him? Sometimes handling too much when you first get the animal contributes to them "not settling in" and stresses them to the point that they won't eat. Also pay attention to where to the tank is placed...noisy, high traffic areas or even a loud stereo can affect their level of comfort in their new place.

    Hope that helps.
