after refusing for 2 weeks, Punkin has just eaten a jumbo mousie and has gone back into his viv with a nice fat belly.
I was just getting to the point where I was about to write a neurotic post about it, turns out he's just feeling a bit lazy at the moment, and couldn't be fagged with doing the jump-grab-wiggle-curl-chomp process. He wanted it left on the floor of the rub in a dark place under the table, so he could lay next to it like an ancient roman, and swallow it at a leisurely, (and private) pace..
I'm just glad about the fat belly.

and you thought there was no such thing as a stupid question....

thx georgina it was such a relief to peek in and see no mouse there- i'm an embarrassingly sad case- i get far too precious about the snakeys, i think probly cos of being aware of how little i know. evry time i read posts in this site i learn something.

love yr sig btw- very impressive- (especiallly the 'synchronised coiling' pic! ... it should be an olympic event....

You dont have to worry about 2 weeks off the food, its quite normal for them to have a little food break every now and again, specially around this time of year. My Royal has only just started eating again after a 4 month break; its just something snakes do.
