He's an early 06, very under sized. He still won't eat rats.

He is a stunning snake mate.

Have you tried sausage feeding him a rat after a mouse at all.I had to do this with my female burm as she was a mouse eater.As the mouse tail slides in pop a rat in his mouth and see how he goes.It should only take 2-3 feeds to get him weaned over as the rat is a much better meal and he should realise that rats are what he wants.

The only downside to that method is that he eats in private. Strikes like a crazy man then eats it in his hide. Thanks for the compliments though guys.
