Nice looking snakes, are you pounding the female for this nest year so she'll be bigger than the male. How big are they bout 10-13' or so?

just shy of that. i am trying to pound her and cutting back on my male, but she is in a feeding freeze right now, as i am trying to convert her to rabbits and she just wont have it. so, i am trying the starving technique like ive had to do in the past with some of my old retics. i hate having to feed her 3-4 xxxl rats every couple weeks, its a pain and pricey. i just had trouble converting the male, but finally after starving him for about a month, he shed and took his first rabbit (hopefully that continues). ive given her a couple guinea pigs over the last few weeks, in hopes that rabbits might be a little easier conversion, but nothing. so, i may just have to do rats for a while and worry about conversion later. but, i cant wait for those babies
