@Lucky, a lot of people warned me that a hognose might not be a good first snake due to their hunger strikes so I'll take my hungry one over any other any day!
@Celeste, lol. I literally fed Cowboy last Friday and as soon as he had downed the mouse he started looking for more. Even rushed at my hand when I was changing his water. XD
My first clutch of ball pythons- all did the pinkies fantastically but then when they saw a fuzzy we’re like “Uh where is our pinky?!” lol. So I tried that and boom, it worked
Do you weight your fuzzies? Weigh them and starting feeding him progressively larger fuzzies then a small hopper. Sometimes they will refuse the next size up if they are not warmed up to it lol
Celeste hm. Weird then on why it regurgitated it. Maybe try again to feed it later and if it happens a second time I'd take it to the vet. Just on the safe side make sure nothings wrong internally
Hopefully is is just a one off thing. Sometimes I wonder if my snake could eat larger prey, but I am scared he will regurgitate it. He eats fuzzies, but I feel like he is somewhere in between that size and a hopper. So I feed him the smaller one to be safe.
Also- I have literally rescued reptiles for 5 years. I have a friend who owns the leading rescue in my state looking over my data and my vet on stand by in case I have to bring him in. I just do not know anyone enough to show them the info I am showing them as my personal info is attached to it.
Celeste, The other thing is I have at least eight inches of substrate and the mat is under the tank not inside it. I've never had an issue but I understand why some people refuse to use them. I had a friend who had that problem with theirs.
Nope. Not too big. They have been eating hoppers the entire time I have had him- I double and triple checked the temps today- perfect. I am going to put a govvee that will track overnight and see what happens. But if it is a temp thing I can just move him to another room where it stays warmer.
