He FINALLY ate!

[Teal]

I'm just SO relieved and excited, I had to share it with yall! My male retic finally ate again... first time since September! And he seemed eager for more when he finished his guinea pig... so hopefully he will get back on a regular feeding schedule now and not frustrate me for months on end! LOL

It's probably one of the worst cell phone pictures ever, but I was trying desperately not to disturb him!

congrats, I understand your excitement!!!
I know how frustrating it can be when they go off feed for a while.
I've had that happen with a few. I'm expecting it to happen again. I have a northern pine that hasn't done it yet, but they are known to.

Awesome. Congrats!

Congratulations Teal. My Cal King went off feed for 3 months over the winter. I know how nerve wracking that can be. It's a great feeling when they're back on schedule. This was my first experience with a snake going off feed. I'll be better mentally prepared if/when it happens again. Best wishes!

I get cranky when I miss lunch.

Thanks yall! It was definitely a huge relief to see him getting that guinea down!

Thanks! This was my first experience with a snake going off feed as well... quite frustrating, and worrisome! Though he didn't start to lose weight until the past month or two... so I am really glad he decided it was alright to eat again!

I am right there with you! I eat almost every hour... I couldn't imagine going months! Good thing they're designed for that sort of thing haha

Very cool. I know the feeling. Every winter my adult Male ball python turns off and won't eat until spring when the weather gets warmer. Same story every year, but it still always worries me in the back of my mind. After 13 years, he's more like my kid lol.

My new Boa ate for the first time last night, it's a good feeling isn't it :)

lol! That would be one of those "annoying/worrisome, but wouldn't know what to do without out" type of things for me! Sort of like one of the dogs I have LOL.

Awesome, congrats :D
