Hi all , I purchased 1 pair WC CA 2 months ago . I have read some data about this species and they wrriten that Candoia asprea may not eat anything in wild for 4 months . So , I am not so worried they are no feeding and have never tried to feedithem at the first 2 months . In this week , the make has done his first shed in my home and I think maybe I can start trying to feed them now . I tried to feed the CA frozen mice in these days but they didn't ate . They will strike and rush the frozen mice even sometimes bite , but the seems don't wanna eat the mice . Everytime while I was trying to feed them , they will only strike and rush to the mice but not eat . As I know , CA neonetes and JV will always accept geckos , skinks or lizards . The data I found wrriten most adults will accept rodents well . Do you have any good suggests to feeding the viper boas ? What do you feed to your WC CA ?

thanks .
