Hatchling feeding
Not a novice to pythons and Boas but I am having some trouble getting 2 hatchings to eat. they are about a month old, one has shed but still not feeding. The snake is still plump from the yolk so I am not stressing it now but I have tried the bag trick, temperatures are good. I have tried FT and Live, Hoppers and rat pups of appropriate size. Any thoughts? another week or two and I might Assist feed them.
Hmm… maybe give it a break for a couple days then try again? I’m a beginner…
Just as an update, I had to force feed the pinstripe 3 times and the spider 2wice, after that ( about a week ) all I had to do was assist the spider one more time and it seems they both got the point so a few live rat pups for 3 weeks and tonight struck and crushed adult mice, Each are putting on some good weight too! like a proud papa I am!! BTW before , and only if you have to force feed. remember patience pays off, they will fight you every step of the way. let me know if you need more advise on how to do this safely and effectively. I was going to do the baby food and tube but I AM SURE GLAD i DIDN’T HAVE TO ! WHEW!
