I rescued this snake from someone who couldn't get it to feed for quite a few months. I finally got it to take a quail and then moved on to rats. It was turned in to a pet store and wouldn't eat. So the history of this snake is not available to me. If I had a past weight I could guage whether or not she's putting weight on or loosing it. She has been feeding regularly and getting noticeably bigger. I am confident my snake is healthy and well fed. I do need to start bulking her up for a possible breeding in a couple years though.
She feeds great and does not need to go through the drive-thru at kfc to get something to eat.
Poking fun of eunectes. sorry lol

Arik your on the right path. I wouldnt have bought a Conda that needed help, But you did and got real lucky (or you got some skills) getting your snake going on the right feed path. I remember all the problems that you had when you first came to this forum, you and your snake have came a LONG way. GOOD JOB.

I just rescued a very pretty tiger retic, 7 or more feet but super skinny. the guy said he was feeding 1 rat a month but i really doubt it was even that much. I gave it a ft med rat today and this snake looks like it will be a great one for someone. I have already had some friends want it from me and it will be nice to see it go to a home that will care for it, right now i dont think i have space for it with my move i am out of big cages. i think it will make me a few dollars though and i am going to be super picky about who gets this one...she is very pretty and awesome temper...i wish i could keep her.
