thank you I will feed them every 3 days

There are no 'hard and fast' rules, Zigmund...they may eat every three days, or they may wait four or five days between meals before they want to eat again. Let your snakes lead the way on this one!

Sorry to hear you lost the one, but sounded like it wasn't really ment to be. Good to hear that things are going well with the second snake though. Oh yeh, I feed my little ones every three days, but like James said, this is just my case....let the snakes lead the way.

sometimes feeding becomes more success when spraying some water to the enclosure some minutes before offering the food.

Zigmund · 08-25-2007, 06:18 PM

do you think that would cause blisters

Elliot · 08-25-2007, 06:32 PM

Blisters form after more of a long term exposure to overly damp conditions. Misting won't hurt anything at all.

Zigmund · 08-25-2007, 06:43 PM

loung term conditions like mud in the tank right

Elliot · 08-25-2007, 06:59 PM

Well I can't really tell you exactly, my snakes have never had it. But I know they get blisters from exposure to overly damp conditions for extended periods (more than a day) or from filthy living conditions.

What would you advise on dirt as a bedding in a tank
