We've just accquired a new (red phase?) yearling male australis... And we absolutely love him. We picked him up at a show recently (About 3 almost 4 weeks ago) , the vendor couldn't tell us anything about him, other than he that the snake was imported and that they had him for two weeks and it hasn't eaten. He's fed for us, each week (about every 6 days), 2 scented pinkies. Everything I know and/or can find on australis says that they have a slow metabolism and eat every few weeks... Is this normal for a juvenile to eat so frequently? In all my years of being a hobbist, I'm finally stumped. Should I keep feeding him at this rate or should I cut him back? I'd also like to know if any one knows any good breeders of australis, we'd like to get another one, but we can't find any captive bred speciemins. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
