sara_sabian that 3rd pic is awesome how long did it take you to get the focus right?

 

[sara_sabian]

Thanks. Didn't take long actually, I was trying to get some photos of him and he just kept reaching out to me so I took advantage.

Whats to debate ?? they look awesome so go and get one ....

Feeding... i heard they are a pain..... i hate fussy feeders!

 

[cement]

I have heard this too, but mine are the opposite.
My female knocked back a feed once and went a little quite but it was obviously temperature related going into winter etc.
I upped her temp and she was back.

Mines a pig , one of the best feeding snakes i have actually ...

 

[hornet]

Mine are fussy, as i said the male isnt too bad but the female didnt feed for the first 2 months, breeder told me before i purchased them and have heard from a couple of others theirs are also fussy. Comes down to the individual really

I think a bit of fussiness is not a big issue, other species have a lot worse.
Overall I think there a great animal, I will be getting a pair next season, just need to figure out who from.

 

[yommy]

some people say they are finicky and yes sometimes their right. Mine eats like a pig quanity wise but is very delicate when eating and won't smash and wrapped. Best explained as dantily and eats at her own leisure but has never knocked a feed back.

very true.... but roughies can be a pain ( and are in my herp room), especially when they have to be teased into feeding and your about to give up for the night and bam... they take the rat FINALLY.... and you then think to youself jeez if i had given up a second ago they would have without a feed again.

 

[andysnakes]

congo, the one in the second pic is a ripper, nice contrasting pattern

 

[D3pro]

God I really want one... congo that pair is stunning.

Bandy I have a few jungles that are like that. Some days take longer then other.
I have figured out how to set off each one of them so it's not a big deal, it just takes extra time.

Even the baby GTP can be slow now and then, you really need to get their attention.

 

[congo_python]

Thankx Bandy and D3pro thats why i choose her and its even more impressive at 3yrs of age.Their both excellent eaters and will chow down on med rats every week if i'd let them + their great to handle, its like a file going thru ur hands.

 

[Moreliavridis]

awsome looking roughies guys. i cant wait to get my pair!

 

[deebo]

Love my roughie and dont think ill ever get rid of her. She used to be a pain feeding but I think sometimes we think that they should every week, fortnight, whatever but she will eat when she's hungry not when i stick a rat in front of her. If i leave her for a few weeks (generally 3 weeks) and offer a feed she will smash it but when i try every week she will smell and smell and smell and then just ignore it. Now i just hold out a bit longer and now she doesnt frustrate me.
