I think Jim, your are just having a bad day. The problem is just the breed of snake we are dealing with. People are use to boas and rat snakes that are garbage disposals, hogs in general require a lot more patience. I have a 1000.00 dollar snake of yours that I bought from a dealer that had him a week before I bought him that ate twice and then would not eat again for two years. It now has eaten twelve pinks and has stopped again eventually it will come around or it won’t. It’s not your fault; it was healthy when you sold it. I have clutches one year no problem everyone eats, and the next time I’m pulling out my hair. But that’s what makes them so much fun and challenging. I have at least 50 westerns and most don’t give me much trouble, but there are a few. These are not a no brainier snake! So it’s not just the breeder it’s the breed. Tom
