Cindy,
Just curious about your use of warmed prey items with your Morelia and your comment about them not accepted cooler prey items. As you know, some Bloods prefer warmed prey and this seems to que a feeding response more so than anythng else next to physical contact with their bodies. I think this falls back on their feeding strategy in their natural environment.

However, I have noticed that all of my Diamonds and Jungle carpets will take room temperature prey with no issue. I would attribute this to the relatively higher percentage of lizard species in the natural diet of most Morelia sp. I just found it interesting that you had noticed a reluctance in your Morelia to take cooler prey items. Interesting topic. Thanks,

Kelly
