Re: Baby retic will not eat.

Not to be rude but "make things right"? This could have nothin to do with the dealer. It's very helpful of him but he doesn't have to take it back by any means. I'm not trying to be rude we don't know what temps the cage is at and are they the right temps? Does the snake have hides? Handled excessively? Is it in a room with where there is lots of traffic etc. again I'm not trying to be rude but lets not put this on the breeder right away

Re: Baby retic will not eat.
Not saying it is the breeders fault whatsoever but at the same time to see good customer service is good, isnt it?

Re: Baby retic will not eat.
i just did the blowdryer trick to feed 2 juvi carpets and BRB who would not eat FT , and it worked ! all 3 snakes took it nice and warm once i let the blowdryer run for about 2 minutes , on the 1st try too within seconds. Now i can stock up on some FT instead of doing the live fresh killed way.

Re: Baby retic will not eat.
I feel super lucky...I got my guy two days ago, and while it took him ages to actually eat the rat, he did eat it...hooray! Does this mean I can hold him sooner?! (after he's out of feeding frenzy, of course). I've always done the hot water trick...don't even dry them off xD never had any problems (minus a mouse exploding once...yuk). I do the nom nom dance too..more for my amusement, I think xD

Give him two feedings before handling even though he ate shortly after coming home, just to be safe.

Re: Baby retic will not eat.
You really should've come to the expo, got to hold so many awesome retics today, well worth the 7 bucks to get in. Two days after his next meal, which should be coming up in the next few days right?

Re: Baby retic will not eat.
Haha, I've only held him at the guy's house who I got him from and on the drive home xD He's been in his tank ever sense, and ate tonight. (need to move his hide back...but I'm afraid of being bitten...he keeps turning around and looking at me). a few days to his next meal? he's been being fed weekly, and I fed him tonight.
