I adore snakes and rescue them from being on the road whenever possible. I wouldn't keep one because I wouldn't like feeding it.0

So happy to hear of another who saves them off the road. So many people intentionally hit them. It's so sad! I don't keep any wild snakes either, only captive bred snakes. Feeding is actually not bad. I feed all mine frozen/thawed0 -
@FitGirl0123 You might want to submit that first picture with location data to your local DNR/FWS, that animal looks like it might have SFD. I know that disease has become a bit of a concern and if you are somewhere that it has not previously been reported it would likely help to have the report
@lithezebra As Fit mentioned, feeding frozen/thawed can make it easier but there is also a new product out called ReptiLink that are basically sausages designed for reptile diets and many species take them very well.0 -
I had a ball Python and loved her so much. I think my love of snakes came from my science teacher in Jr high he had so many animals he kept at the school one of them being a 12 ft long Boa constrictor0

what's the longest hunger strikes your snakes have ever been on? I'm curious who takes the crown on this one lol my stubborn BP is still refusing food. moved her into a spare bedroom and cranked the heat up last night to get her temps a little higher and humidity up to see if that helps. she's going on 5 months now0

@FitGirl0123 neither did mine. she tried ot make a couple of strikes.0

@michaela_g09 I had a ball python go on hunger strike for 13 months. As long as the animal looks healthy and is not rapidly losing weight then I would not stress it overly much0

she looks fine and I'm not stressing it much but just wish she would get back to her routine lol0

It's actually just mud from him just coming out of hibernation.0 -

My hoggie is the only one of my snakes that ever gives me any trouble. She's gone a couple of months without eating before. She usually eats for a few weeks then goes off food for couple months then repeats. Seems to be no rhyme or reason for it, and she's very tiny at 2 years old because of it. The rest of my snakes are monsters and never miss a meal n0 -
