 Well, atleast he ate....I guess...

Hey, I wasn’t planning on feeding guigley till monday, but we were feeding mosi, and he didn’t eat, so I thought my mom threw the mouse out, but then she calls me and is like "go see if quigley ate the mouse" I was like "WHAT?" . So she fed Quigley a f/t mouse, and he ate it, im kinda mad at her, cus we got him wednessday, but w/e, i guess I can just be happy he ate, even if I did want to let im adjust more. And please don’t jump on my case because i didn’t know my mom fed him, i thought she threw the mosue out.

I guess that Quigely wasn’t stressed out at all by the move. I have feed a couple snakes the day after I have gotten them if it happened to be the day I was feeding the others but normally I wait three days to give them food and then work it out so they all eat the same day.

Look on the bright side, at least you don’t have to worry if it will eat. You know you are off to a good start and conditions must be right for your snake to have eaten this quickly. Quigley just didn’t sweat the ride.

Lol, no reason to jump on you. He ate it didnt he? Well then whats the worry? He obviously is settled enough to have an appetite.

When I got Pelota I was going to try and stick to that "leave them for a week" rule, but she settled in so easily, I held her for a while on the second day of having her, and on the third day I fed her an adult mouse, and she took it like nothing. Some snakes are easy going and easily settled in, others take time. I think it’s got something to do with a good captive bred specimen. They settle easier and aren’t so easily stressed like farmed and wild caught bp’s.

Woo go captive bred snakes!

yea good to hear shes settled in! the day i got my little checkered garter lizzy, she seemed really quick because even the guy in the shop had trouble getting her out, i got her home and she had seemed to have settled in and i let my temptation over rule me and i got her out(i know i shouldnt have)she was quick at first and has calmed down loads since!

The reason I thought you would jump on me was cus when I made a post about this when my mom fed cupid (again, without me knowing) before a week after we got him, roachey got all mad and started yelling at me an said i was doing everything wrong.

I have a western hognose, drove 400 miles, put him in a ten, dropped in uth, water bowl, newspaper, hide, plastic plant, and a pinky..two mins later had a fat snake, I offer food as soon as I can f/t only of course, if the snake isn’t going to lose any sleep over eating it, neither will I.
