Great advice, exactly what I needed, thanks to everyone.



I am still trying to get 1-3 more breeding sized females for this season, I'm hoping if I go the the shows on Sunday I can negotiate a good deal if I get a male spider and a couple 1000g females.



Main reason is that one of my females hasn't eaten since I got her like 5-6 weeks ago. I really don't know whats up, she is in the same conditions as all my other snakes, and they are eating like beasts. I even tried offering her a live rat and she didn't even show the slightest bit of interest. I'm going to be finishing up my snake rack this weekend, so I may switch to aspen bedding or some type of mulch, I've heard that can help. Also heard that keeping the rat for a day or so in a container will help increase the amount of scent and may help elicit a response.



She is kinda starting to worry me. She is really active and friendly (my adult female that is a good eater is really mean, hisses at me if I even approach her cage, but my god she has a great feeding response).



thanks again
