feeding worries

[Cazador]

Way to go, Jenn! Most of the time, the problem has more to do with the temperature (or some other environmental factor) than it does with the snake, itself. Congrats, and be sure to include a thermometer, so it doesn't get too hot in there. It should be less than about 90F for normal situations. Cheers,

Thanks! I will be sure it doesn't get too warm. He seems muuuuch happier since the heat under the tank has started and now that it's on a timer, I'm not leaving his light on until 1am while I study! I am so pleased he's eating!

Very cool....great to hear your little one is eating for you now. Sounds like everything is to his liking now.

Two successful feedings which is a great sign. I am leaving for a field studies trip to Africa in a week and I hope he keeps eating for his snake sitter!

Maybe you guys could answer me this... He's albino, so is it unsafe to take him in the sun? I would never leave him exposed, but for small periods of time I thought he might like it.

Thanks again!

I don't think it's a good idea to expose him to direct sunlight. It wouldn't do any harm to keep him in the shade, though.

Thanks! Now hopefully I wont get sunburned on my trip! I'll be back in a month! Thanks for your help!
