This little girl came to me as a live mouse feeder in 2002.
But she refused to eat anything after trying every trick in the book. I finally started ASSIST feeding her.
It would work like magic, and she actually started to know the routine. She would barely struggle as I placed the freshly killed mouse in her mouth, then she would constrict and swallow it.
This went on for aprox 10 - 11 months before her first fast.
After her first fast she started pounding the food on her own, and has been doing so ever since. I know this snake would not have made it without my help.
Today she is a nice beefy 1300-1400 grams and continues to eat like a little monster.
This was the best PIC I could get of her because SHE would not stay still.
