Finally

My darn persian sand boa, E.johnii persicus, ate after half a year of not eating! Actually, it seems longer than that.

I got him to finally eat by introducing the fuzzy near the surface of his crushed walnut and when he grabbed it, moving him onto newspaper so he doesn't injest anything. I guess he need to feel safe and hidden to eat.

He's MEAN.

Hi sweetheart! My males are off their feed too. Many male Eryx don't eat in the breeding season. Even some of my 2 year olds that may not be mature still tend to go off in the breeding season.
By the way, I answered your question about conicus size on
"the other site"
It's looking good for both conicus and johnii this season...

Rev you kill me! Can you leave the food in there and they go in for it is that how it works?
Thanks,
Trevor

Yes, I saw Unkie. I have a male roughscale. Got him last week, he's not eating!! Worrying me. Female's eating, I measure her at around 17 inches.

Yes, they do twitch sideways and bite, mine are NASTY! Pretty though, I'll get pics sometime soon.

actually with some airholes I put both togther over night (no outlet) and if it (the pinky) isn't gone the next morning I mark it as a refusal and try again a week later
