yay! finally! she ate last night . Didn't think she was going to as again she followed the mouse round and didn't bother striking. I left the mouse in the viv over a branch right next to her, I started to watch a film and bout an hour later I glanced over at the viv and the mouse had disappeared and she had a lump in her belly. Seems like she wont be a strike feeder any more.

My carpet did this once.

I tend to feed mine at more random intervals since in nature a snake would not eat at tea time very Saturday.

Sometimes I feed every week, sometimes every two, sometimes as long as three or four. Never done him any harm. When I left it four weeks, which I only did once, he wouldn't strike feed.

left food overnight and it went.

Fed a week later and strike feeding again.

strange.

maybe he forgot how to strike. lol
