Honestly, it didn't bother me at all. It would've bothered me if he was the only snake I had and I was wasting rats all year long, but luckily enough I had other snakes that fed on the same size, so I would just offer him first when I fed them. I wasn't worried because he never became emaciated or anything. A little weight loss was to be expected, but nothing significant enough. LOL... what can I say... he's a ball

Woohoo! Congrats Linds, that's awesome... so glad he's eating for you again!
A whole year eh? Wow... lol... Xander didn't eat for a good 6 months, and I was soooo excited when he finally ate his first meal again Thankfully, he's been eating on a relatively regular basis since then... still not as regular as the other snakes, but at least he's eating... lol... gotta love bps, eh?  Hehe...

You said it! I'm glad he took a meal. Funny time of the year to come around though. Most are going off this time of year. Maybe he's dyslexic. There goes the myth that only WC go off food eh. I guess someone forgot to tell your CBB boy that eh?
Cheers,
Trevor

LOL yeah everyone always says as long as you buy captive bred they will feed like crazy My other captive bred fasted for a few months last year and was sporadic after that, and I have a little imported baby that I won't even get in to...lol LOL... seems someone forgets to tell my snakes a lot of things

Couldn't tell you since he just started feeding again He used to be a great feeder, then became sporadic, then stopped altogether. Be ncie if he went back to being a pig, but I'm not holding my breath...lol
