Several of my snakes are skittish, and don't eat well outside familiar, comfortable surroundings.
Cranky my old t. Butlerii is one of those. He spends most of his time up in his tree, so I wedge a dish up in the branches. I coddle him because of his advanced age, and I'm pleasantly surprised each time he survives another season.


Butlers will gorge on worms until they look like sausages also, and they usually digest it w no problems if left undisturbed.
