My free snake

[Syco]

One of my daughter's friends gave my this female BP, just got tired of her.
She's a real sweetheart! He said he was feeding her a mouse every 4 days or so!
She looks good but I'm going to try to get her on rats. I fed her two days ago, she eats f/t mice. I gave her 2, she only ate 1:( I guess that is all she is used to.
She has really good weight though, hard to believe she is only eating mice.

Here's another pic, kinda shows her size better. I don't have a scale so I can't weigh her. Gotta get one of those:p

Very nice!

[Linds]

Sweet score! Sad that people tire of these little wonderful lives :(

[foman]

nice little python.

I always find it funny that people can't believe a mouse eater is large my largest females all eat mice and they are plenty large enough. Sure rat feeders take less time too feed but feed them what they want and they'll be healthy enough. I have one female that will only eat bigmac meals hey at least I got her onto supersized though

[RepTylE]

lol morph. Do they like a hot apple pie for dessert?

[BoidKeeper]

Give her a whole week maybe more, then try. Once you see her roaming her enclosure hunting for food you'll know she's hungry you can try her then. Try a rat that is the same size as a mouse at first, nothing to big. Also try scenting the rat with the mouse by rubbing the mouse all over the rat.
Good luck and congrats on a great score!
Cheers,
Trevor

Morph
It wasn't so much that she is eating mice
as it was that she has been fed *1* mouse a week. I have much smaller females that are eating mice and taking 2 or 3 at a time. Oh well, guess it has been working for her so far:) I'm going to give her a rat today and see what happens.

I LOVE all the bands going across her back! Since almost all the olive colors are banded does tha qualify her as a banded?! lol Beautiful!

[stkkts]

SUCKERS! That BP is beautiful. has a reduced pattern and awesome color. Take good care of her, and she will be very rewarding.

[Clownfishie]

She's beautiful! :D Lucky you, getting a beautiful snake like that -- and for free too!

Hey, syco.....I am gecko god's boyfriend. Her real name is Jessica. We live in Louisville. "Her" male ball is really mine, he is just staying with Jess until I get some more room, hehe. We'd love to take you up on your offer anytime! Just let me know....I am online more than she is, lol.

[Syco]

A couple of you commented on her markings.... I didn't notice anything different about her until you pointed it out. I just think she is a beautiful snake didn't know she had all these bands and reduced pattern :) LOL!
A friend of mine has a pastel male and we are hoping to breed them soon, hope they make pretty babies.

David,
My boyfriend has the same trouble with me, I told him last night I was going to the snake room to check on *my* rat snake(we've been having trouble getting her to eat) and he says "Your rat snake? I thought it was mine! What? Now all the snakes are yours?" LOL! It's a woman thing " What's ours is ours and whats yours is ours" :)

[Beardonicus]

Yup, Syco......women, lol!

[Gaboon]

good score thats a beautiful ball right there 2 bad they gave her up

[TheRedDragon]

Very beautiful BP, good luck getting her onto rats, she can definitely handle them! :)

[Syco]

I tried her with a medium rat yesterday, she checked it out, flicked her tongue at it and went to soak in her water bowl :mad: Oh well, I'll try again in a few days. I have such a hard time holding out on my snakes, I usually give in and just give them what they want. I guess we willl see who is more stubborn, me or her! :rolleyes:
