I can't agree with you enough. I don't have my blue beauty pair any more (unfortunatley! I gave up my pair in a divorce a few years back--kicking myself now--and have been searching for quite awhile now for a replacement pair as nice as the ones I had!) but I remember this problem well. I have *never* seen a female that put as much into her eggs as that beauty. It actually used to scare me. I fed her absolutely as much as I could get her to eat. Right before laying, it was sometimes only gut-loaded hoppers but getting her as fat as possible before breeding and really cramming the food down her seemed to help.



For whatever reason, lightly misting her with warm water from a spray bottle seemed to help trigger her feeding reflex. (worked with most of my other snakes too, especially the Everglades rats)
