ok in the first video i scented a pinky and you can see she goes for it but she "spits" it out 2 times do you guys thinks its just to big for her making her choke? or maybe she just doesnt like them? i ask that because i cut it in half long ways and rescented it and NOTHING not even a faint interest in it. i have the 2 halves sitting in the night crawler container till tomorrow, anyone have any concerns over that?


and this second video this is how she is with night crawlers. and at the end i sat my Zippo in there for reference size. and the extended darkness in the beginning the power had Just went out



i know the quality is not great its recorded from a PlayStation Vita but my phone is worse.

i had another question what do you guys usually pay for pinkies from a local pet store these were $1.19 each so i only got 4 i know they cheaper online if ya buy 100 but i just wanted to know if she would eat them or not.

The worm & pinkie seem to be pretty big for that little snake, I would cut them into smaller pieces. But then I tend to be over cautious when feeding & pretty much every thing else too. And I wouldn't feed on printed paper because of ink residue. We'll see what the "experts" have to say.

He's interested in the pinky, but seems to get nervous, or uncomfortable with the dry texture- he igjt just want quiet and privacy. A dark wet feeding container might help.

Is that s night crawler or a redworm? The size is fine for an aggressive worm eater, but might put off a snake who isn't treasure to tackle a n active worm.
It looks suspiciously dark tho... if its a redworm its hood that the snake refused it.

I don't think that worm is too big. You might just have a nervous eater there. I've had a few snakes that won't take their food unless it's in the perfect position. I think she spit out the worm the first time to get a better starting point to make it easier to swallow.
Do you have any hemostats you can fed with? If not, PM me your name and address and I'll sent you out a couple pair free of charge. They make feeding time much easier and less stressful for the snakes.

Well I wish would have been recording earlier she was pushing that damn thing all over the cage rolling over and over. I thought maybe she was just looking for the worm, but, maybe it just wasnt right lol.

Could you explain what you mean? Something doesn't sound right here.

[jwolfe152]

she was pushing/rolling the mouse around, getting her nose under and rolling it. i just though she was looking for the worm.

Ekoh was not rolling.

Thanks for the clarification.
