My RTB

[klorentz]

Hey gang ,


I had been feeding my rtb once a week for the longest time and now only wants to eat every two weeks . She still eats but not as offten and is not skinny . She is about 5 1/2' long and eats medium rats . She has not been bred so I know thats not the reason . Perhaps something I am missing ? Our BP and Corn Snake eat every week . Yeah I know they are another species But its not like Jazz to refuse to eat one week than eat another . Any thoughts ?

Well its like this some snakes just do that.Some of my boas will stop eating for a month then eat on there regular basis again.They can have a tendacy ti be finicky at time.Figure this a snake in the wild can go a long time without eating.As long as it is not loosing any sugnificant weight you should not be worried.

Thats what I figured and I have seen this with BP's alot but Jazz never did untill now . I guess its because she is more like family to me and my GF and my family all love her so much . Kind of like parents worried about their kids not eating enough . She has been with me a few years and has never bit anyone . One big reason I love RTB's . She makes a great good will embasadore for them :) .

Ya like i said they can be finicky.You say she has never bit anyone.Thats cool.Just never let your guard down.One of my dog tame Emeralds supprised me the other day and delivered a nasty bite wich resulted in more stitches than i wanted.Really you cant compare a Columbian to a Emerald as far as temperments go,but i have seen the most docile snakes turn.Never let your guard down.I am sure you know this but i had to say it. :D

Yes I do watch myself . Having Jazz for a few years I still keep my eyes open .
