Warm, helpful thoughts needed!

I'm dying here and you're making jokes. I'm going to get you one day Lori, you just wait and see.
 
ok ok kids behave now....I have been on holidays for 2 weeks already and been bored outta my skull except when on here and now you two start acting like a pair of kindergarten clowns and I can't stop giggling....I know I know i need to get out more!!! Just look at my signature I don't have time to get out!!
 
Wade started it. :p

Rich, sorry that Wade hijacked your thread. I'm still sending chicken scented warm fuzzies with hopes that your baby eats. Let me know about Monday.
 
I didn't hyjack it. I'm trying to be part of the solution you Doink. I can ship tomorrow for friday delivery. If I put them in a sound proof box, no one will know. I'll lable it Live Harmless Reptiles.
 
Ya, I've got some, probably, I'll have to go look, I should. I'm sure I can find a preggers female ready to pop. (that is J9 speak).

Lori, I've never seen this mean side of you before. It's kind of turning me on.

Doesn't take much, does it? :laugh: (I'm calling Vicki.)

Well, if you're going to actually do that, let both of us know. That will prevent him from having to road trip half way to Indiana. I don't mind, either way.
 
Rich hasn't responded since we started this silliness. If he wants me to and sends me an address I will ship him a mouse. Up to him.
 
Thanks for the thoughts and ideas everyone!

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond but I am working 3rd shift so I sleep during the day.
 
Warm, helpful thoughts coming your way, Rich. I just lost a beautiful 08 that became a regurger, so I'm still stinging about being a bad parent.
And of all things,...I just released three regular native anoles back into the wilds of suburban Baton Rouge. They are everywhere in Louisiana. Especially cities and around houses. Actually, I've always succeeded before I got to the anole stage.
I've a pretty good record with problem feeders. And all the advice is good. The mass-feeding of a batch of little ones (snakes) in the same tub/clean-unused-viv has worked miracles for me, even tricked the most annoying little boogers. Triggers all sorts of desirable aggressive instinctual feeding behavior. Actually, I've always succeeded before I got to the live pinkie stage, too.
Also, leaving them alone in close quarters, even overnight. But you know all of these things, and they have been mentioned.
Wade and Lori have been very kind. Gosh, I'd try (almost) anything to avoid losing a precious wormlet.

Thanks, Eric!

I want to thank everyone again for all the thoughts and advice.

Wade, Lori, Nanci and Scott have been great! This site is lucky to have them.

I just changed the lil' guy's water. It may just be wishful thinking, but he seemed a little more aggressive. He has never striked at me. But when I reached in to get his water, he did coil up. Hopefully his next feeding attempt will be the one!
 
Not sure if anyone has said this (I didn't read the whole thread) but a brown paper bag has worked for me before. Place the snake and pinkie in the bag and leave it overnight and then check it the next morning. Most of the time it works. Tape the bag or place it in a secure container. You don't want a escapee in your house. Good luck!!!
