[QUOTE=tigger79;4388656]can i just ask how often you are feeding the snake, also if you are only feeding small meals, the snake will absorb the majority of it and there will be no waste to come out the other end,

another thing, there is no need to bath snake every other day, and if feeding has been an issue you shouldnt really handle until feeding has gone back to a proper routine and the snake is happy.





Hey Tigger,

When I got Akasha she was very underweight, took her the vets and her suggested an assist feed. I found a very good reptile shop who helped me with this and after 2 assist feeds she strikes every time
The same reptile shop has advised me that she needs small adult mice now, as she is eating every five days and last time took 2 fluffs. So this feed will be interesting lol.
Me and my brother, who is only ten, are new to reptiles, so we are learning.
We bathe the beardies and baby iggy every other day, as we feel that this helps with bonding. Our male beardie can be a bit moody and enjoys his bath lol. Our baby iggy needs taming, so we use the baths for bonding and exercise, before we handle her. Our female beardie has a tail nip when we got her that went quite bad, another trip to the vets(several) and she gets bathed everyday because of the constricted shed she had.
Akasha, my royal eats regularly now, and has been for a few weeks, so I handle her erveryday, except for 24-48 hours after she had dinner
Hope we are doing everything right as we spent and spend hours researching

This is really superb tips. Thanks for sharing.

really usefull tips mate ta..my corn has reguretated his mouse twice now..he did it a few months ago but then carryed on feeding as normal...shud i worry? x
