Rosy EATS Blanket!

[PsychoSnake]

My Rosy, Pepper, has an insane appetite. She's been trying to eat this blanket on my bed for 30 minutes now. She has not gotten it in her head to give up! I haven't been teasing her or anything. She has done this two times before but she gave up after a few minutes. Geez.

[SSSSnakes]

She is hungry, give her another mouse.

If I fed her every time she was hungry like this she would be obese. It only takes her two-three days to get this hungry and she already eats large meals (she gets a big bulge in her stomach). She is a healthy snake with her current feeding schedule and growing/shedding steadily. But insane appetite! I have to use a hook when I take her out, because almost every time I open the cage, she's "starving" and I look like a giant drumstick to her. She stalks me like prey the majority of the time. Once in awhile she even strikes at the glass when I walk by.

She actually never gave up on trying eat the blanket. After an hour of constricting it, I pinned her and forced her off. I hate doing that, but she needed to let go of the silly thing. She was tired afterwards, which allowed me a little bit of handling time with her without having to worry about getting bit. She rarely gets handled because of her feeding response. Everything is food to her!

[BIGT FROM F.B.]

I'll bet there's some smell on that blanket that she associates with food. Someone must have relations on that blanket! LOL!!!

[PsychoSnake]

Um I don't know about "relations". I'm single and I wash my bedding regularly. Maybe she likes Woolite detergert. I'm a neat freak. Or She just wants to eat me. It probably smells like me and she does try to eat me. I am food. Either way, she is just a hungry, hungry snake!

[Pareeeee]

How old is she? Is she still growing? If so, you can feed her more often. If she is full grown, I do understand your predicament because I realize the obesity problems that rosies can have.

Just curious, How long did it take to get that size?
