How much is too much??

[BornboreD]

Well just thought i'd share my joy........

I'll admit patience got the best of me, so I broke down and offered the skinny little girl a live hopper/weanling rat. Turned the lights off, and gave her some privacy. About a half hour or so. When I came back......well, let's just say I did the happy dance. Almost 6 month fast is over!!!! It barely gave her a bulge, if at all. So I figure I'll just give her a similar sized live rat every week until she is eating them consistently (4-6 weeks in a row). I'll then gradually up the size and get her back over to f/t. Anyways...thanks for the comforting advice guys. But I really do have next to no patience (something I need to work on), and it ended up paying off.

Congrads Colin-
Heh, My patience got the better of me to. Took almost 4 years, but it got the best of me this year. She hasn't fasted for 5 months in 3 years. Thinking it over I guess losing 112 grams really isn't too bad. I'll be doing backhand springs when she feeds for me again so this year I get get her up to 2000+g's.

BornboreD: You did say you left your snake with a live rat....right? If so, that's something I would think twice about doing again if I were you. I have seen first hand what those little things can do to a snake. Congrats on her eating tho!!
