I have tried Live, same type of response, Every Single one of my other snakes, Morelia and Ball Pythons even my baby Hognose snake takes f/t, He has taken F/T adult mice before as well, his last meal was this weekend it was a Prekilled Adult Mouse, but it had been about 3 weeks since his last meal, which was the same, he has taken F/T Mice, P/K Mice, Live Mice, even a Live Rat pinkie....but the consistancy he doesn't have....out of every attempt I offer food (weekly) he might only accept once every 4-6 weeks, this time it was only 3....but on average its 4.
I know he prefers mice, so that is what I offer, but out of all the Ball Pythons and other pythons we keep or have kept he is kept the EXACT same way..he is just a picky feeder, he eats when he wants to eat...Visually he seems ok, he doesn't look emaciated or super thin, he just looks like all the 08's we have, actually many of our 08's are bigger than he is now...
I was told he was born in early 07' we got him when he was I am guessing 6-8 months old....and 350 grams. the only other thing I have not tried is AFS, as I don't have access to them...But now that he is several years old, and grown so slowly (Stunted) and seems to still be a picky feeder...my question is should he ever be bred? Thats the last thing I would want to do is bring into this world more headaches for myself..lol ----- Executive Reptiles
