Uhg! Frustrated!

I don't know if it's just just that time of year or what, but several of my snakes have been awful feeders lately!

2 of my new babies, the female ridleyi and the male mexican lined pit haven't touched food since I have had them. The male ridleyi ate last week but doesn't seem interested this week, and for all that pits are supposed to have killer feeding responses, my albino cape gopher has the worst feeding response I have ever seen! Most times she strikes, coils for 2 seconds, then is like...nah...nevermind....but it's usually gone by morning so at least I know she's eating. Just...UHG! And my 'MBK' is even worse....he went a month off food, then ate last week, now is off food again....WTF MAN!?!?!

Trying a few things with the ridleyi female. Breeder suggested extra busy stuff in her little tub. So it's been thoroughly trashed with fake plants, a PVC and a paper towel tube and lowered her temps. (Usually sounds counterproductive, but they are a cooler temp snake, so I guess it makes sense?)

I can't believe that my BPs are some of my best feeders!

Anyway, just wanted to blow off some steam.

In lighter news....yup...I have another special package arriving on Wednesday! Anyone wanna giess what it is? =D
