The funny thing is the guy i know (bad herp) had his last bp live 26 years.
My feeding method with the f/t is using long thongs/forceps, in low light. I thaw the prey and run the baggie under hot water for about 20 sec. to get the temp up. It would only take a second or two.
I believe it is a little stress. She has a real timid personality. When she comes out at night ,if you go to look at her, she'll freeze and then head back to her hide/corner. I took the time while trying to feed her to move her tank to the least possible traffic area of the condo. It's only been 2 mo. since i've had her but it's hard to believe her stress level being higher now than the first mo of adjustment.
When you guys had your bp go into fast, how old were they ?
