I still have a couple of girls that are normally awesome feeders, that are still not eating??
Live, PK, FT..anything before...now no interest?
These are girls that have always returned to feed by March-May in the past?
I've been wondering if maybe the wierd winter we had threw their cycle off or something? Here in the N. East it was warm all the wat till January, then we only had a month or two of cold weather?
It's going to start to impact me for this next breeding season soon if they dont start eating. I have lost 2-3 months worth of feeding and snakes dont grow so well when they dont eat...
Good luck.

i used solar powered dead sometimes.The Fla. Sun will heat up they prey in 30 min.so it is more entising,pit receptors are very evident on BP's. hope this helps and wonder if it works for ya.Chris
