Yellow anaconda feeding

nay Apr 18, 2005 09:18 AM

Greetings fellow Anaconda keepers, and other species keepers alike! I am an experience snake keeper who decided to undertake the responsabilities of keeping a yellow Anaconda! She is the most gorgeous thing in the world..... Anyway, I'll have to send a picture and show you all but that's at a later time.
I have a question about feeding. I bought her just over a week ago, and she hasn't fed for me yet. Now I know that is normal and all, but if after a couple months she still isn't feeding, than what other options should I offer her besides rat pups? Is there a preference? I've heard they are fond of birds. she is a young Yellow and is a bit to small to eat a chick, where could I get baby quail if she continues to refuse to eat? What about fish? Is that even an option?
Good day and happy herping!

Nathan

I have not seen a case when a Yellow wont eat, its usualy the Greens that have that problem. It may take a couple of weeks but it will start eatting rat pups. My Yellow will only take food every month or month and a half. Its like he got to the age of two and changed his eatting pattern.
