1. Was the snake eating f/t or live?

2. How long has the snake been out of hibernation?



When I first saw the thread my initial thought was the snake wants live prey right now... I have several adult annulata that are picky, one wont eat mice with hair, a couple only want live mice, a couple will only eat rat pinkies. Usually the snakes wont eat f/t readily coming out of hibernation, this year all of my adults except 1 ate f/t rat pinkies and mice weanlings their first meal, and the one that wouldnt eat (spotted female) ate 4 live hoppers the other day.



Annulata especially spotted ones can be very picky in my experience.
