First Meal in 9 Months

My male rubber boa ate last night for the first time since last June. He chowed down on 3 deer mouse pinkies in rapid succession. I will offer him some fuzzies in a few days.

So after eating once, my male has refused all further offers. Meanwhile my female is eating large meals every week or so. I am hoping the reason the male is not eating is due to the female's pheromones. They are housed together.

Maybe baby rubber boas will happen this year at my house!
