All snakes have potential, that is, the maximum and minimum of what they do. Under the right conditions, they all seek to eat as much as they can, grow as fast as they can, and reproduce as much as they can, up to their genetic potential. They do not refuse to reach that potential, THEY ARE FOCRCED to not reach their potential in those areas. Both by nature and by us keepers.



So when you have a glossy that only eats lizards, that is the snake communicating to you that is not being allowed to be a full on glossy. As they normally have a much wider menu and consume a much wider range of prey.

You sound like a very caring person. So I hope you will think about this. Best wishes
