Yes, my jacksons always want to eat.

But I have the same practice like you do.

Now I feed the female (CB, about 15 months old, 4 ft)

every week with one or two halfgrown mice (in germany

we call them springer =jumper). Nevertheless one or

two days later she is on the way to find the next prey.

The junger male (WC, I suppose it´s about a half year,

about 26 in) gets two times a week two or three baby

mice.

The male one is separated from the female, cause I have

bought it on a snake exhibition. Back at home I realized

that I bought a snake wich didn´t get the right treatment.

It was rather underfed and got an inflammation in the

mouth (Maulfäule, I don´t know the right english word).

So I had to do a forcibel tube feeding by a high concentrated

protein and to medicate the mouth with a kind of penicillin.

Now the male feels much better and eats by his own.



I have heard from the "nose rubbing problem" especially

by the wild caught. How did you arrange the terraria for the

thrasops? Do you use real plants? Do you have a hiding box?

I have arranged it in this way.

If possible I will send you a picture of my terraria.
