cheers m'dear. 
He was pretty sluggish but when i offered him the next mouse he had some sort of reflex i think i may have spooked him, he shuffled really fast on the newspaper. hopefully, next week will pick up a bit more.
His little head was poking out of his biscuit box hide earlier, peering out at me. |

congrats on the feeding hun
my OAP corn was always very slow and gentle with his food, since being on a diet for a year his strike has picked up a bit although he's hardly the fastest lol
with his previous owner she just used to throw a couple of rat pups in (yes i know....hence the diet....) and let him find them. he's just got used to a different feeding style with me and will now strike  |

just fed nismo for the second time today. much more lively than last time. small fuzzy at a distance of 1ft and he came straight across the viv after it. bit of wiggling later he took it slowly at first then constricted it.
well chuffed cos first time he seemed very uninterested.
think he's getting to know me now.
hope blitz perks up in time |

What a lousy feeding response!
Blaze got a bit bored of striking and just holding on, didn't attempt to throw coils around so i let him have it.
Blitz was soo slow, but i did get him out of the cool end, so thats probably why  *
Pleased with blaze though, quickest time to nom stuart ever! 
No pics unfortunately, too dark 
edit: * Blitz only managed one, he slinked off to the warm end. can't blame him, he stretched a bit to get him down, saw his skin is this ok? theres a big bulge. the previous owners said he did 3 at one time. I smell something funny.. not pee or snake poop..  Maybe one large mouse weekly will do instead?

Well, thats the plan anyway.
Not sure if he's an aggresive feeder or not, i only have plastic tongs and my step mums best barbeque tongs. Wont be using those for sure.. May have to buy some cheapy wilko's ones.

Hope Blitz doesn't get you, but bet he'll be way more interested in the food than fingers! |

2 days SC and HE you can't manage that?? I admit, when blaze is out and about after he's been fed, it is hard to resist.
Will do, thanks guys! Blaze i'm working on the strike and constriction thing.. Blitz I'm going to go slow since he has struck at me when i walked past his viv once, i dont really wanna be on the end of it in case he misses.. |

Good Luck with the feeding Hillzi!
We fed our two last night. Think Kizzy is going into blue, she only wanted one pinkie instead of the usual two. So, we offered the spare to Ziggy and he ended up having three! Fat boy! He weighs 36g now, and will be having fuzzies next time! |

Yeah. Spoke about it here recently, Hawk and I were feeding all of them same day up until now, then for two days no snakes to handle but after feeding post-shed Shadow yesterday out of schedule (she missed a feed during shed and did look hungry once she shed ) we figured it was better to split it so that there is always at least one snake available for us snake-hungry lot .
