Hey guys,
Just looking for some assistance. I'm reasonably new at keeping pythons(I kept a couple several years back but moved them on to better carers as I was renovating and moving). I have 2 Darwins, 1 Albino and 1 Het, both hatched between Nov and Dec last year. I have just moved them into their enclosures 9 days ago and have attempted 3 feeds(every 3 days) and both are not interested in what I'm giving them.
Breeder has given me all indications that the Het was a solid feeder and the female was too, although she only ate every second feed, but I'm starting to get worried as to me, they don't know what they're doing.
I've tried pinky and velvet mice and pinky rats but they just have a sniff and continue along their way. Best case scenario I've had is they snap at the food a couple of times and then move along.
Should I be worried at this stage? I'm worried that I'm doing something wrong.
Enclosure Temps are fine and I haven't tried scenting.
Thanks
