    Re: OK well i feel dumb..

    If the snake is eating rabbits, I would stick to them for now simply for the fact that the snake may become "addicted" to other prey items and not want rabbits anymore. This happened with my carpet python and she will NOT touch a rat no matter what I do. She is addicted to mice and had been before I purchased her.

    Natalie, a few questions for you. What size cage is the snake in, and how long is the burm? What type of method are you using to heat her and what is your substrate?I couldn't seem to find the other thread with this snake in it. If she is truely a female I am pretty sure she should be pounding anything you offer her.

    Have you considered feeding pigs instead of rabbits?

    its the one she came in till we get taxes.. its the 6 foot long by 3 1/2 foot wide by 2 1/2 foot tall vision cage... she's between 13 to 14 foot.. there's a heat panel on the top on the left and 2 under the tank heating pads the ones from boaphile the ones that thin wire things under the left said so she has a whole left side that is heated.. with a thermostat.. the right side is cooler for her.. I mister her 2-3 times a day to keep her humity up..

    right now substrate is news paper for quatine precausions...

    she also has a 2 1/2 foot long bowl of water so she can get half of her body in at a time to bath and drink..

    havent tryed pigs yet..
    Thanks, ~*Natalie*~
