    yeah, snakes can last a verrrry long time without food, I have just let a juvie go 8 mths, as he wouldn't take a feed. He has now voluntarily eaten pink rats.
    just happy to wake up each day

    depends on the individual animals. for instance a nice robust hatchy ill leave considerably longer than a weaker skinny hatchy. there was a couple i hatched this season that i assist fed a rat tail after only 3 weeks. on the other hand i have a clutch of womas that are about 5 weeks now and not one has even looked at the food.
