My friends live near him and he's eaten snakes around them, unless it's a complete group trolling, then I doubt it. They aren't friends with him anymore.

Well, than I guess he eats him... The loser

True enough, and I have an amusing correction. On closer inspection the snail that was "untouched" seemed to have been missing his head. I guess Tiamat does like snails after all... I should probably hold off for now, two snails and two worms in two days. I think that's enough, I don't want her getting obese.

Just so you know, they have fast metabolism, they eat constantly. I offer mine food every evening.

Oh really? Well then, I'll keep her going on snails and earthworms. The one I gave her this morning was tiny, I'll get another for her. She seemed more lively today, I suppose the easiest way to get an animal to like you is to feed it.

Brings my cousin to mind he could be in the worst mood, hating my guts, but you offer him a cookie, and he owes you the world

[kibakiba]

it works on me sometimes, since at the end of the month, we have no food... Food can put me in a better mood... Unless my mom is trying to fight me for it.

Well I tested the theory by tossing three earth worms into the tank at once... I didn't know it was possible for a creature to eat what looked like half its body weight in food in a matter of minutes. She was very subtle about it, I never saw her, Just the worms quickly sinking into the substrait, one after the other, in about 3-5 minute intervals.

She's either extremely hungry, greedy or both. In any event I'm not going to test her again anytime soon. I might end up destroying the ecology of my garden.

Normally I wouldn't go that far, but I assume two things. One that's she's stressed, (which consumes a lot of energy) and two that she's pregnant, (which consumes a lot more energy) so given the circumstances I thought it would be better to err on the side of more food rather than less. I hope that wasn't a mistake, but she seemed rather pleased and I find it very hard to say no to my pets, unless of course its my food they want.

When you say "substrate" what is it? When a worms burrows, it gets it stuck all over the worm. Which means the snake will eat some of the substrate and that's bad....
