I have had my spotted python for four years now and he is the most picky eater ever. He will take it and sqeeze it, and then let it go. Sometimes he goes for months without eating. I always feed him in his cage because when ever I put him in a new environment he gets excited and wants to explore everywhere, and then he doesn’t even want the mouse anymore. I can tell by his behaviour when he is hungry, and he has neverf even hissed and me, or struck. He knows when it is feeding time.

So then you did get bit by a snake taking it out of it’s enclosure. He bit you because he was still hungry I bet. Don’t have that problem if they stay in the cage.

This is one of those topics that we can debate ad nauseum without ever reaching a total agreement. I’ve never talked to a snake breeder who says that you should feed in separate tanks. I’ve talked to many people who own one or two snakes (or 3) who feed in separate tanks. But like I said this could be debated forever and we’d never come to an agreement.

I have two snakes that live together very well. Don’t hvae any problems with them biting, but I’ve always moved one snake in another tank. I have problems with both them feeding. My older corn hasn’t eaten in 3-4 weeks now. Is my problem that I feed them at the same time or too often? I’ve always put them in seperate cages becuz I don’t know if I can feed them togther as there on diffferent size mice/rats.
Please does any one have any advise?

I feed every single one of my snakes in their own enclosures and have for about 4 years now and have yet to be bit picking one up from its cage. I have been bitten picking a snake up off the floor and out of another tub after being fed. People have different experiences and different opinions. No one is an expert on every snake because not every snake acts the same. That is the truth.
