Psycho Spendida Finally Ate

Rivets55 Aug 08, 2006 02:54 PM

I posted previously about my Splendida that just wouldn't eat. In an effort to help her feel more secure I added strips of newspaper and TP rolls to her cage last week. This seems to have calmed her down a bit.

So, yesterday I decided to give feeding her another try. I got a live hopper along with mouse nest bedding, and put all into a medium size cardboard jewlery box. The box has a hole cut at the top on one side so the snake can enter, but the hopper cant get out.

Put the whole thing in Psycho-Fatty's enclosure while making as little commotion as possible.

Joy!

This morning - fat snake and no hopper!

Now if I can just get her started on F/T....
