Female ate again, male refused.

Female took 3 mediums this week, male again refused.

Last pic is for size reference, he rarely eats, she always does.
They are both in the SAME sized tub.

Re: Female ate again, male refused.

You should take the pic from a bit more of a distance to show the size difference better. Nice looking snakes though.

Male is about 3 feet (was bigger the her a month ago) female is almost 6.
They are both platinum het albinos. (taking photos is hard right now because I'm reorganizing the room. Next sunny day I'll take photos for you guys.

She has no issues eating while in shed so what happens is, you feed her when shes blue and her shed rips apart all over because it can't stretch.

No thanks :P Even if he is small, hes got great genetics and you can still breed a 4 foot male with a 15+ foot female :P I've never witnessed it but a few really good friends have.
