[snakelady-viper]

I have three all are pigs when it comes to food never had a problem with them but in saying that I paid top dollar from John Montgomery and they are worth every penny

[ForgottenXo]

good on you for taking him on even though you knew he could possibly cost you a bit in the long run thats truly loving all snakes

Awwww Thankyou! So many people said we shouldnt, and that he will never be of monetary value to us. Bit it isnt about the money for me...I do it for the love. Ill never get back what i put in buuuutttt cuddles from them is so worth it

If money is an issue for you, don't buy large snakes.
Pretty simple really.

hi bud theres a nice 9ft female on facebook buy swap sell sunbury $400

how old ??

[Jacknifejimmy]

If you lived in metro Melbourne(like me), anything under 600 is a bargain...

[Kareeves]

how much dose it cost to feed one large snake a month. I keep 60 to 70 frogs atm and the feeding bill is huge. I probly spend 50 to 80 a week just on food.

I've got one like that, very annoying and time consuming.
Have you tried chickens? Mine will also eat those if it suits him.

They have taken chicks, but seem to prefer the quails over anything else. It annoys me no end! I have even thawed a small rat in the same bag as a quail, then proceeded to rub the quail all over the rat. Only problem then was that both items smelled like a rat-quail hybrid, and they wouldn't touch either of them. I hope they'll take to adult chickens when they're big enough... not looking forward to paying for the equivalent weight in quail if they don't...

We have a little Olive...hes a bit of a special one though. He has a kink, in the first half of his body, which makes him difficult to feed. He is 15 months old and still on mice because we dont want to put his body under too much stress. We have to have 6 monthly xrays to ensure the kink isnt impacting or affecting the rest of his spine. We knew he would be a bit of a money taker but, he is so beautiful, every cent is worth it

if you can source rabbits give them a go, mine will eat anything, however a few mates with fussy ones had some success with rabbits.

Reedy's Repties have hatchlings avaiable for $250 and he is great to deal with.

I'm kicking myself because mine was sold to me eating mice. He went off his food for a short period and I made the mistake of offering him quail, now I'm paying for it. I have been told that once they reach a decent size olives are very unlikely to knock back a feed so I guess time will tell now.

Indeed. My male had been a little fussy on the rats, but had been accepting them. The female only ever sniffed at the rats, then turned her nose up at the offering. I could only ever feed her quail, and when the male went completely off his food I too made the mistake of offering him a quail. He's just as stubbornly fussy as her now. I will, as junglepython2 suggested, try them on rabbits once the weather warms... they're cooled at the moment, so I hope they will smash the rabbits when I bring their temps back up in August. Unfortunately, due to their very fussy nature, I have had a LOT of food go to waste as they sometimes outright refuse to eat. Consequently, they are still quite small for their age. I think they should be able to handle a pink rabbit, though.
