Posted - 25/11/2009 : 20:31:58 Just fed nismo his first meal in his new home. My first time as well! Just wondering if I should worry about him not striking or constricting the mouse, rather he just sniffed it and slowly started swallowing. No other problems though. He now seems quite happy. |

Posted - 26/11/2009 : 04:34:27 Just be glad he at wildboy!! It may take time for him to feel settled enough to strike and constrict...although some snakes never constrict - my Kellog just lazily throws a coil over, more to say 'this mouse is mine, you aren't getting it'!
Give him time and once you are happy that he is feeding regularly there are a few things you can do that might encourage him to strike - like the 'pinkie dance'.
Am so glad your 1st feed went so well.
