I have 3 question actually. First I have a six foot male red tail that had a respitory infection and mites when I purchased him about 4 months ago. I cleared everything up and its been about 2 1/2 months now. And he's doing great. Now my question I have recently purchased a 5 1/2 foot female and after a quarentine period I placed them together. The male has refused to eat ever since they've been together Could her presents in his cage be upsetting him and causeing him to stop eating? They are always coiled together.
Second is regarding the new female She is very skinny only her backbone is showing alot. The woman I got her from says that she was eating a jumbo rat every week. I've been feeding her small mediums and they make a small lump in her I can't imagine her eating a jumbo. Nor can I picture her eating every week and being that skinny. My concern is can I feed her to much to fast? I don't want to make her sick I've been feeding her every 2 weeks but she wants to eat about every 5 days.
And finally sorry this is so long but I have a baby Guyana I've had both 3 weeks. She's in a 10 gallon tank. and has a basking spot about 90. I feed her for the first time a small mouse and she regeratated it about 3 days after eating I didn't handle her at all. What would Cause this?

Thanks again sorry its so long.
Casey
