angry dumeril

"That is so not fair. We've had our dumeril for about 3wks and we tried to feed him again yesterday and he still wont eat! The fuzzy ended up drowning b/c he got in the water bowl while we were sleeping."

When I first got Mr. Snakey he was no bigger than a worm I'd use for fishing. He didn't want to eat then either and the fact that you said fuzzy I take it he is little yet. I'll tell you what I did I put the snake and a live pinky in a small container inside the cage (so he get familure with eating in there) and left them over night together in the morning the mouse was gone it has been a breeze to feed him ever since. Well till now, I am trying to get him to take a rabit. I felt bad I had to murder the poor rabit then he wouldn't eat it he just staired at it. Starving him now for a 2 week period will try again next week.

how do i know when it is a good idea to start trying to handle her? Its been 1 week that i have had her and she ate for me last thursday. I was planning on feeding her again this coming thursday and then attempting to handle her over the weekend. Any way to tell if she will try to bite me again or do i just have to attempt it and maybe suffer a bite??

My yellow anaconda has only bitten me once and that was the first day I got her. I reached under the newspaper to pick her up and I guess I startled her so she tagged me. I've had her 5 years now and she has never attempted to bite since that day. Just take your time and no sudden movements! Good luck.
