I got a royal from my neice that hadn't eaten in 6months.
I got it on the Saturday, put heat and humidity up, it ate on the Monday.
That was the 30th March. It has just taken it's 15th food item last night and that was the first rat it has ever eaten every other item I've given him has been a large mouse. It was only a rat weaner mind you and the snake is 2.5yrs old.
He weighed 905grms on the 30th March and now weighs 1030grms.

My new baby hasn't eaten yet tho'. Any ideas??

My last order with camzoo.

50 fuzzies
25 small mice
25 mediium mice
50 large mice
25 ex large mice
10 rat weaners

cost= £59.90 inc postage.

it helps to get the snakes gut flora going which can help enticing them to eat.

I'm well please because if I bought the same thing in my local shop it would have cost me twice as much.
Just read this ... I was well pleased when I placed the order, and well p*ssed off when I received it.

Yeah some snakes like to go for a spin. If that doesn't work you can try to go down in the sea with a submarine. That might do the trick

its like you going on a roller coaster, you place the snake into a tub and put tub on seat of car, the movement of the car gently ocks the snake around and disturbs gut flora in its stomach and hopefully causes the snake to feed, i have used this method and every time the snake has fed,

But snakes only enjoy a ride on german / french cars.

If you have a crappy Nissan, you better leave them at home
