Here is my pair of Southern Pines. If the female doesn't start eating soon, I won't be breeding them this year. Argh! Not sure why she hasn't started eating. Will try live rat pups soon. Usually that breaks spells of noneating. She's the Snow, and he's the normal patternless.

Hi nodaksnakelover,

i have the same problem with my snow southern pins. I have 3 and 2 of them don't eat all the times. Sometimes, but not at all the time. The last snow eats like crazy. I have a pair of leucistic southern pines. They eat always, they can get a mouse. I have a a amel. and a normal southern pine. They eating in the same way. All, what they can get.

But: the Snows ... only problems !

my southerns are also finicky but they can't refuse moving rodents, especially rat pups! here's a guy that'll only eat live. if he wasn't so pretty, he'd be gone a loong time ago........geez, i just checked & he's only eaten 6 rats since last march 9th yet he's thick as a brick!! that's southerns for ya.....:>/
