Last night was our first full feeding for all the new ball pythons. Previously we'd had one refuse and one only ate a mouse. But last night there were no mice, only rat fuzzies and they all ate just fine. I just put them in the tubs and closed them up (except Sid who is a total pig and was ready to strike as soon as I opened his tub), came back in an hour and they were all gone.

woohoo!

I'd been sweating getting them all on rats (mostly because I bought a big bag of rat fuzzies) but no worries.

Of course Jerome, my JCP, still refused. But I'm thinking it might be a seasonal thing for him rather than anything wrong. He still looks good so I'm not stressing about him. Having other snakes eating makes me feel better about husbandry.

I was just wondering if you had gotten Jerome to eat yet. Oh well.
Congrats on getting the rest of the brood to eat!
