Hey Jonathan,

Like I said, when there is a problem feeder in my collection, it is not an ongoing issue. Some can be a pain in the behind at first. I will tweak my husbandry for that particular animal to get it to eat as it should. As time goes on, they do not need the tweaked environment and can be house like the rest.

It is not really an amazing thing to have a couple of hundred snakes feeding perfectly fine. In my opinion, it is to be expected. That is what they do.

Do not get me wrong, I do not feel you are doing anything wrong with you hogs and I am confident that your husbandry is fine. Maybe you just have one of those hogs that needs special attention. Experiment a bit and I am certain you will find that sweet spot for that particular snake.

Good luck my friend. Hope she starts eating like mad.

And by no means am I defending Frank. He is a man and can handle himself. I just feel people should not worry so much about their egos and feelings so much. I hate to preach as I am just learning this myself, but I now find it much less stressful when dealing with other personalities. That's all...
