My Blood pythons

grady69 Jan 02, 2005 04:20 PM

I have been having trouble in getting my blood pythons to eat on a regular basis. The female has eatten two medium rats on one day but ever since that she hasnt eatten again. My male hasnt taken one yet and i've had them for about six months. The friend i got them from has told me to try the vitamin b-12 in their water for awhile and see if that works. I keep the temp. pretty warm, so i dont think their too cool. I just want some ideas on what to try to get them eatting again and fattening them up. My email is dabiggman85@hotmail.com

I would post this on the blood forum too. If they were mine I would want to know what exact temps and humidity were. Do they have good hides? How old are they and what were they eating? Do they have room to move?
