hi there all i just came across this forum
i am a member of reptileforum uk but thought i would try a new one too
i currently own a male jungle jag and a female junglexdiamond carpet with the hope of breeding
i have had the jungle 2 weeks now and it hasnt eaten yet my other carpet is making up for it and hoovering up all the leftovers lol
now the jungle has lived in a rub not sure for how long as the seller didnt really give me much info even after me emailing them for it
he is currently 4/5 foot and quite chunky i have tried weeners rats mice etc etc how long do you think it should be for him to settle in and am i just worrying unduly as i said hes quite chunky so i dont think its gonna do him any harm but just needed some inspiration really
any replies will be appreciated

hi carl. no need to worry after 2 weeks. i'm sure it will eat when ready. as you may know, carpets aren't really 'chunky' species, so it sounds like he can spare to lose a little weight. keep us posted.

probably not best to try more than once a week. you could end up causing stress to the snake.

At that size he should be eating small to med rat no problem. I would wait a week a leave it alone then give it a try with a small rat. If he don't eat wait a another week. Don't handle till you have him eating regularly. BTW hello and welcome.

Re: new forum member
Just keep trying. If he appears otherwise healthy there should be no reason for concern. This week was weird with feeding for me. My best eaters refused to eat (I have decided it was because they were so close to laying), and my Oxide who had been off feed for about 6 weeks finally ate. Stubborn brat haha. This next week hopefully they will all gobble everything up to start recouping from the laying. I am going to feed the girls that skipped theirs tonight except Opal who still hasn't laid.
Welcome, and good luck, but you shouldn't need it, he'll probably eat soon.
