A Kaybe Miracle.....

Kaybe ate an f/t rat. WHAT?! He's only ever eaten LIVE MICE. He's been IMPOSSIBLE to switch to rats OR f/t at all! I guess the move to a new place and a new cage made all the difference! I gave both Kaybe and Pika a dead rat... Pika struck it, coiled it, and ate it. Kaybe showed no interest, but I left it with him just in case. 1 hour later I go to check... BOTH rats are GONE. It's a miracle! May this be the first of many f/t rats to come for Kaybe... I hope this is a permanent change!!!!!

Re: A Kaybe Miracle.....

I have two cinnimons at work that eat rats this way, but will tackle live ASF's no problem(Never tried mice with them, we don't really like mice for royals, I mean who does?) but its odd how they prefer to eat it on their own time rather then like how they normally would eat other prey. Congrats to Kaybe!

Re: A Kaybe Miracle.....

Yay, that's great news!!

Saleen did a similar thing for me. When I got Saleen, my first snake, 8 years ago...he was the pickiest eater ever. He would only eat two live white mice, every 2 weeks. If I tried every week, he wouldn't eat them...if they had a speck of color on them, he wouldn't eat them. I had to return a lot of mice to the pet store, lol.

When my apartment air started to become horribly dry in the winter, I got nosebleeds and colds, and Saleen couldn't shed properly and got stuck eyecaps. So my fiance took him to his house and set him up in a different cage. Within a month, he was feasting on frozen/thawed medium rats. You just never know with ball pythons- tricky little buggers.

Well, well, well... Kaybe ate his second f/t rat tonight! He wouldn't strike, so I just left it with him and poof! An hour later it was gone. Looks like the move to Miami was good for him

Re: A Kaybe Miracle.....

Sometimes all it takes is changing their scenery. Also I suspect the new caging makes him feel more secure, what with three sides being opaque. Congrats! He'll be as big as Saleen in no time.

Re: A Kaybe Miracle.....

For the first time in all of Kaybe's life, he decided to strike and constrict an F/T RAT. Things just keep getting better and better... Once he eats a few more of these smaller rats, I'll start increasing the size of them.
