tisk, i dont know, (shakes head)
so i got an intrestin call and visit this arfternoon at work, a costomer who we sold a spotted hatchling tp last year, apparently the snake had gone off of its food, i was horrofied by what they told me!.
he said that he had been feeding it live lizards from the garden, the snake was also eating mice (live) . this annoyed me, the particular snake when it was in my care as a trubble feeder, id tryed many diffrent things with it and it like geckos, so i eventuly (with a LOT of work) got it to eatting pink mice (thawed ones!) that were gecko sented. it took a long while but i eventuly had the particular hatchling eating unsented thawed pink mice.
every feeding attempt recorded, the snake went out with this record. i spent a good deal of time explaning how and who to do things with the guy long before he took the snake home (it was on lay-bys)
so the now eating regulary snake went to its new home. APPARENTLY the guys nighour sugessted to him that it would be a good idea to feed it lizards from the wild, APPARENTLY he also fed it crickets! (*** no snake in the history of the world eats incects)
so he brought the snake in concerned about the fack that it wasent eating, i gave it a look over looking for any obvouse problems concidering its diet, the snake looked fine to me, good body mass, no mites it was in the akward stage of a shed thou, a little smal but still within the normal size range for a animal of its age (concidering its diet)
and so i found my self once again explaning how and why to do things. to the guy and the risks involved in the way it was beeing fed,
sadly thou i felt my cautions were falling on deaf ears, no dobut they will be back or call again with the same problem,
