Is there a way to encourage strike feeding? - I have a 13 week old Royal Python that won't strike but will eat when assisted.

Cheers

I have a snow corn about 3yrs old just bought 4 wks ago not fed shed once we bought both from same person they have some weight on them tried putting together, all kinds of food from pinkies to fluffs to full and also chicks tried warming food getting it smelly the snake comes and looks and then backs off as if he's scared of it? really want him to have something soon I tried cutting these foods up and offering them in bits but same again tried leaving stuff in with him also him out the viv and out in a tub....

Nothing the only thing I have not tried is live may have to soon as want him to feed the female we got at the same time from the same person eats great and al the others do so the temps and vivs are all setup the same?

any ideas please how do you force them to eat if needed

Where is best to feed snakes? a friend of mine does it on the bedroom floor but i do it in their vivarium. i'm worried they'll associate the doors being opened with feeding time, esp as i haven't handled them in a while. Also, my snakes are not feeding how they usually do, one has not fed for some time and hides when food is offered whereas the other doesn't strike at the food and waits for it to be leftand for them to be covered up. i'm a little concerned about it. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I took a look at your site and recommend it to my visitors. I agree with you on the importance of becoming valuable in many different areas. I believe that it sustains any entrepreneur during challenges that inevitably occur.
