First my Pewter het female that recently shed. Still getting redder each shed.

My new female Butter. She was a stubborn nonfeeder. But after 8 weeks shedecided she was hungry and stayed hungry ever since

Lavender male.. Big dude..

My Hypo Bloodred outcross..

My newest addition. A none feeder Bloodred female. She is slight over 4 inches tall.. The smallest corn I have ever seen. Very wrickled and fragile. I hope she will start to eat for me soon. My guess is that if she doesn't eat within a few weeks she will be dead. And she is only 10 days old or so.. But this is a close as you can get to picking a red baby.. man she is red.

Man, those are awesome! There are many of us out there, like you, who currently have bloodred feeding issues... Maybe the 'stubborn' gene became more predominant in the genetic mix of bloodlines this year. Mine looked very smaller to yours and I have recently force fed it a pinkie head to keep it from starving itself to death (which may occur anyway if it just wasn't meant to be) but will try to keep it alive. I have a solomon island ground boa that I kept alive since February by force feeding it guppies for a month or two, then moved onto pinkie heads...now its eating entirely on its own (almost 8 months later)...very frustrating and time consuming, but was worth it for that particular boa.

GOOD LUCK w/it!

My bloodred recv'd in June
(not eaten one whole meal since then and much much smaller and more fragile now)

Thanks Carl. I hope your Bloodred will eat very soon for you.
