Yay!!!!

Thanks to ALL who posted suggestions on getting my snake to eat. She finally ate a worm! I was getting very worried as we'd had her a month with no success. I put a small worm in a shallow dish and after about 36 hours, she ate it. Now she is very content. Again thanks to you all!

No problem, glad she ate!

That's great news.
Keep us posted on her progress.
We'd love to see a photo of your snake.;)

I have a picture of my snake on my other post! Do snakes usually get very immobile after eating?

[snakehill]

Absolutely!!!;)

[RedSidedSPR]

Not mine, but yes:D (meaning mine are just active little guys) its perfectly normal.

Last night my new eastern (6 days) ate 6-8 (think should have counted I guess!) medium earthworms and has been in one of her hides all day! I am assuming that she ate them because they are not in the ceramic container with dirt that I put them and they are no where else in the tank!;) She looks a little wider but not really!:confused: She is a little cutie though but fast!!!:)

Cool! Good job!

Try this: swallow a whole 8lb turkey making your sides bulge out and see if you feel like going hiking or playing racketball.:rolleyes:

ok.....so its been a while since the last feeding and she still isn't moving around very much. I don't want to be concerned about nothing but I don't want her to be bored or lonely. Does her being so immobile mean she has gotten used to her new home or that she isn't doing well?

Eating, drinking, pooping, tongue flicking, alertness are all signs of good health and low stress.
Any chance we can get a photo or two of this snake?
