Hello all!
I'm a new first time owner of a Coastal Carpet Python!!!
It is approx 9 weeks old and she has only eat once (about three weeks ago) and only shed once.
I tried to feed her a pinky rat last night be she didn't take it, I left it in the cage overnight but still it didn't eat it.
It's first feed was a pinky mouse but I've been told to get it onto rats ASAP as its hard to make the change later.
I had it in a large clip lock bin but now I've put it in a smaller one to try and get the temp up higher.
Although it doesn't seem to want to sit near the heat mat, it likes the cool end.
I only have a 5w heat mat.
Can anyone give me some advice???
