My snake won't eat....

Joe Forks Nov 13, 2007 10:05 AM

This forum is dead, is this what happens when FR takes a little time off? Somebody post a hybrid please! lol j/k

no really, here's the real post....

Finally got around to updating this article. I know it's way past time. I wrote it for hatchling alterna but it certainly can apply to other kings and milks as well.

Instead of typing out long responses every time someone posts "my snake won't eat" we can point them to this article.

If you have edits for me or suggestions to add to it, please send them to me. It's been a while since I wrote it and there certainly could be something I missed.

The article

www.kingsnake.com/alterna/hatchlin.html

linked from the resource page - link titled "documents"

"mush the brain material around."

I don't have a comment for that, just thought it was a noteworthy phrase, and perhaps one that's never been typed before.

Oh that's rich. Very funny. I mean, as funny as mushed brains can possibly be...

you could probably skip that step. I don't recall having to mush the brains around and out the skull, but I have seen it posted other places and wanted to gather all the info in one place.
