feeding question

[bigbosky]

when I try to feed tarzan he wont take it, sometimes he will just bite and let go then refuse to eat it. But if i move him and the prey into a smaller container and cover it up with a towel and leave it alone for 30 minutes he will eat it. Is it possible he simply just dosent like an audience when he eats.

that may well be the case mate

i've heard of a few snakes that will not eat with an audience

cheers shaun

Have you tried leaving him in his own enclosure but covering it? It could just be a shy snake :)

[bigbosky]

ya i've tried that and he wont eat it unless i move him to small critter cage with the pray and cover it up

When my corn snake was younger he would not eat unless I put him in a small container with the mouse and left the room for a bit. I did that a few times followed by putting the food in the small container and putting that container in his cage without the lid. Now he will eat it whenever he wants as long as I am not looking at him!
