I was so freaked I called up sarah and asked what she did. " Well uh. Kyros ate a mouse but its eyes popped so it got blood everywhere ( ok at least it wasn't his blood) But your baby Calypso wouldn't eat. I tried all three days to make her eat and she refused so I just fed the baby mice to ki instead, he looked so hungery I just couldn't stand it." I was IRATE. She has been overfeeding my poor kyros ( much to his amusment) but now he is really really strikey. And my poor Calypso... I told sarah NOT to feed her cause she is kinda tricky. Now Calypso is totally frazzled.. My babies are all messed up... What to do now? I'm going to leave poor Calypso alone for a few days to let her recover from all the stress of my EX friend trying to make her eat.... now Kyros on the other hand is just plain mean now.... So what do i do to make him normal again? will getting him back to his normal feeding schedual make him nice again. I love him so much and he is really a sweet sweet snake. Please help us!
I think it was kind of a mistake on your part to ask her to feed your snakes in the first place. They would've been fine with 1 skipped meal, or a few days delayed.
They are stressed. Put them in the tubs, get the heat set, and leave them completely alone for a week.
