Default 7 weeks and 100 grams later...

... After taking back Windsor the "non feeder" royal almost 2 months ago, he has eaten 11 meals (all by himself) and gained over 100 grams. Ain't he looking so beautiful!







He even eats in Blue


We still have a long way to go, another 150 grams on his frame and I would say he is a healthy weight for his age. Hes currently 468 grams.

I never had problems with him before I gave him away though. I didn't think he would get back into a routine so quickly though, he literally stuck fed the first night I brough him home LOL

I keep my boids quite hot... Windsors at 95+. He likes the heat, and he likes his prey items head BOILING hot. He always stike feeds that way.

It's just about finding out what works and what doesn't. You need to be able to descipher their body language and behaviour IMO.

agree i keep other boas and they love their food hot so hoping our special touch rubs of on this boa to get him feeding again.

Royal has nice colours
