so I've already posted how I got this snake, this will be a thread about his progress. I brought him home yesterday, and today he took a pinky, unfortunately it was a bit big for him as I couldnt get any smaller pinkies. hopefully no harm will come from it. here is a photo of him before he ate.
In the future, if a pink is too big, cut it in half while still frozen. If he can't digest it before it rots inside him (if it's too big) he'll regurge it, and that's not a good thing at all.
Just feed the one piece...With that small of a snake, I'd feed conservatively at first- a pink no bigger in diameter than the snake at his widest part. But it's okay to feed every 4-5 days.
he has two hides. this pic was taken when I moved him back into his viv from his feeding box. he didn't seem to mind and went right over to the warm zone hide and curled up to digest. no regurge, and I'm watching him closely
I just realized the title for this thread sounds like a super hero comic lol
is there a way to delete a thread and restart in another catagory? this will probably need to go to general chit chat at some point because I won't be new forever.
oh geez! I second everything that nancie said about cutting his next meal in half length wise.. by the way you would want to do this while the pinky is still frozen, that way its blood and guts dont go all over the place. (that's no fun)
but yes, that's an amazing feeding response! he just about ate himself! (if he were all curled up!) he's a champ, best of luck to him on digesting his "big Mac meal of a mouse"!
