Re: Finally Cyrtopsis Ocellatus - Eastern Blacknecks!
This is one of the most beautiful (sub-)species in my opinion.Congratulations.I also would like to keep this species in the future.

Re: Finally Cyrtopsis Ocellatus - Eastern Blacknecks!
Aww crap! LOL Now I've got to get one, what a beautiful snake!!! Actually there's been a subadult male T.c.ocellatus at a local reptile show for the last couple of months. Looks good, but the guy says he can't get it on mice, so no one wants it. He's asking $85 for it, if it's at the next show AGAIN in Sept. (he's had it at the shows since June!!!) I think I'll offer him $60 cash and see if he bites. The only thing I'm worried about is getting a female for him eventually.

Help!
These guys are tough to get eating. I had them all grouped together and had only 3 that would eat so I separated them. Well that added one more to my eating list. So I have 4 that are eating rosy reds consistently.
I sent my kids out to a local pond in search of a frog to scent some pinkie parts. They came back with King Kong the bullfrog who obliged me by letting me rub pinkies all over his body and face. i even rubbed the plate on his face. I really thought he would eat my fingers or a few of the pinkies but he behaved very well. Unfortunately we disturbed him for nothing. Only one of the babies that was already eating ate a oinkie part! Today we dug up a work but it looks like that was a bust. Anybody have any other ideas? I don't think I could get baby toads or tadpoles anywhere but if anyone had any ideas that would be great. They all seem to be doing well but I really hate to lose any of them because I could not feed them. Thanks, Joanna |

Re: Finally Cyrtopsis Ocellatus - Eastern Blacknecks!
For me, the best thing to try was to give fish still alive. I don't know if the rosy reds are still alive? I put them in a small dish, so they splash a bit. This usually triggers them to eat.
I've never had any good results with earthworms, but you can always try this. If they really don't eat, then the best thing to do is forcefeed them 1x. Most of the time, they will eat after you've forcefed them once. |

Re: Finally Cyrtopsis Ocellatus - Eastern Blacknecks!
i never had trouble getting mine to eat mice they just take anything i offer them, my female eats anything, male is a bit picky, he loves his mice, but wont touch fish or anything else.
