My New Retic WILL NOT EAT! Someone help me out here!

[MDT]

So...at the expense of being called a meanie again (as in another thread)...Kyle, you gotta ask yourself, are you really wanting assistance or simply validation? If it's the former, then I think the overwhelming response would be, don't feed live...it's simply not worth the risk. You have limited your snake simply by captivity. Hunting/killing in the wild is not the same as in captivity. It just isn't. Your responsibility to the safety and well being of your pet overrides your desire to "watch a kill".

If you are wanting validation of your husbandry, you likely won't get that...especially with a freaking taser poised to off a rat that gets jiggy with your snake.

So, I truly hope you don't take this the wrong way....I've been keeping snakes for well over 30 yrs...I'm still learning and modifying what I do and how I do it with regard to husbandry tips and pointers. I really think that for the long term well being of your snake, you should reconsider your feeding options.
