My 09 Pacific striped gopher snake Zola always gets the live pinks the pyros didn't eat, as is the weekly routine. Well, I was in a hurry so I just popped Zola into one of the feeding jars that belonged to one of the pyros, along with the pinks, a large amount as the pyros are beginning to slow down as the winter season comes on. She didn't eat any of them, even left in the jar all night. The next day I put her in Gonzo's ( 08 Pacific gopher) feeding tub and she still didn't eat. So I finally put her in her own feeding jar and she immediately ate them! Her jar is the same as the pyros' jars. I guess she just didn't like the smell of the other snakes in the other jars.

Zola and her mate Zigzag. She is the redder one. He has gone into brumation but she is going to be like my big Pacific Gonzo, eating all winter at this rate, as long as she gets her own jar! LOL!
