I am sooooo happy! She ate!

I've only had my snake for a week now and I just fed her for the first time and she took it with no hesitation! It was great and I was so relieved!

You're lucky, mine hasn't ate yet... It hasnt eaten since I bought it almost a week ago, it hasnt eaten in 8 days now. I almost killed the poor mouse for nothing! Anyways I'm happy for you..

That is great news! Congrats!
My new baby Ball also ate very soon after I got here. Only 3 days.

All three of mine ate...but one regurged. I've got her quarantined separately now, and an appointment at the vet on Friday...I doubt I'll be able to get anything for a fecal exam, though.

Darnit!!! Another one regurged...I checked temps: 68 degrees!!?? What the...???????????????? Guess what...heat pad failed! No wonder they can't digest, they can hardly survive at night in that thing! Geez...gosh darned Flukers heat pads. I need some good old fashioned heat tape...that stuff never failed on me!

I am happy to hear that too. Our most recent new BP still hasn't eaten and we have had it for about 6 weeks. Could care less about food. She is so small too. Oh well we will have patience and keep trying.
