Your anaconda has been spoiled.........hamsters? and she is fat? Time for a crash diet. these snakes can go long periods without food....I still have 2 that haven`t eaten yet and they are going on 4 months old( The runt started eating 3 weeks ago and is a total pig)....Try letting your snake go an entire shed cycle without food and see how picky she is.

I know she was spoiled,.. I wish she were now. She was on a all hamster diet when we got her, she is about 8 feet now. The problem is that she hasn't eaten in well over a shed cycle. WE have waited like a half a year inbetween feedings at one point. She is fat,. I don't know how but she is. Cage and set up is right,.. I don't know where to go from here though.
