Baby feeding response in group setting?

Yep, I will post what I find come next feeding time. Nick, please also keep us posted like you mentioned. Thanks guys!
 
After I thaw out the f/t rats and start to blow dry them to raise their heat signature, I notice most if not all of my snakes come out of their hide from the smell of the rats. I am about 20 ft away from the rack when doing so. Just thought it was pretty cool how great their senses are, I'm sure a lot of you experience the same thing.

Guess what? It worked. I just went back in there and she's coiled around her meal.

I don't know if letting her watch the other snake strike and eat worked, but these are the facts before today:

1) She has been offered live, stunned, F/T
2) She'd been offered rats, mice, and ASF's
3) She's been assist fed six times
4) She has never attempted a strike (besides the slight headbutt mentioned above)
5) She has been disinterested and almost scared of every meal offered

None of this worked. Coincidence that she just happened to want to eat today? Don't know, but I am glad I clicked on this thread :)

I would try this again but I am out of problem eaters. Hopefully this will work for others and we can prove it works.
 
That rocks!:thumbsup: Coincidence? I don't know, but super great timing for the way this played out for you. I might try my trouble feeder sooner now, just see how it goes. I'll report back still.
