Wheatie PICS ;)

[Dan40D]

Intersting stuff, my little guy is now just over a year old (26 november) and i have him on adult mice at the moment, as of last week when he shed (i weigh and measure after each shed) he was 85cm using herpmeasure and 165 grams. It was a toss up between adult mice and fuzzy rats last time i bought food, will definately be getting the rats when he runs out.
My girl is 11 months but is less than half his size, but she has doubled in size in the 8 weeks that i've had her, she was still being fed pinkies by the previous owner, last night she smashed 2 weaner mice and was still looking for more, guts!

He sounds like my girl. If I offered Zephyr an all-you-can-eat mice buffet, she wouldn't stop eating until she exploded.

Some of them seem to have a switch and you can't turn it off others it's like the kids on the light switch goes on off on off...

Thanks for the info. Did you do any research into the nutritional value of a fuzzy rat versus the equivalent-sized mouse? I'm a little worried that the rat wouldn't be quite as nutritious.

Well the mice weren't giving a bump in the belly so much any more so I decided rats would do that and started with ones that are slightly bigger than the previous 5 meals of mice no research just been reading forums lots. From memory (geez look out) I thought rats had higher ratio of benefit per item than a mouse.

I have to find my girl a new enclosure too.

Fun times

Funny how some have a switch that turns on and ignites their hunger and you can't stop them and others Meh when ever....I like how they are so a like but so different as an individual. I should do the herpmeasure thang.

Oh the quotes that come to mind,.... and you've pissed one member off with the large text

I hoped you'd jump in with you Wheaties Jay yours are good feeders and I know they are horses of things. Pics now buddy

 

[Jay84]

hahaha. I did think of that when i typed it, but it was only a small part of my post, not all of it..... is that ok Ramsayi? lol

Mine have been pigs of things. They were gluttonous pigs, i had to slow down their feeding regime as they were just eating too much and i didnt want them to get overweight. I am hoping my new hatchies (fingers crossed the eggs hatch) will be just as good!

I am busy tonight, out for dinner, but if i have time after ill take pics, if not you will have to wait till tomorrow

Holy bejesus. My snake is the same length but only half the weight. Your girl must be a fat - uh, sorry - voluptuous snake.

That's a nice looking snake Brett, I really do need to get me a pair of stimmis as well.

 

[Jay84]

My Wheatbelt is around 2 years old now, but is a bit of a fussy eater.
Doesn't seem to want rats or quail, only mice. I usually give him 2 extra large / jumbo mice.
Although I haven't been persistent and tried scenting, etc too much to see if he'll take rats..

The non feeder she was assist fed a rats tail and it then ate a thawed rat pinkie on own. Go figure after refusing so often...eat straight after being force fed twice now. Bizarre these Ants at times.

 

[Red-Ink]

Nice mate... good to hear your making progress with the non feeder.

How old is he Brett?

LOVE LOVE LOVE this snake! Have to admit, ants don't really "do" much for me, but THIS one gives me goose-bumps every time I see it! It is, by far, one of the sexiest snakes I have ever seen!
