    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have had my baby BRBs a few months now and i keep reading everywhere that they should be able to eat mouse hoppers right away. However anytime I try and feed them hoppers they regurge? I wait the 10 days back down to fuzzies and no regurge so I do fuzzies a few more weeks and give hoppers another go and regurge again and we are back down to fuzzies again. I have to say I am a tad worried. I feed F/T and my boy is always eager to eat and goes right for it. My girl however is reluctant and when she does eventually take it there is little prey response and it usually takes me holding the mouse nice and toasty right in front of her face so she can taste it a bit. Any ideas or suggestions or am I just an over worried snake mama?
 
Rule one, listen to your snake. If fuzzies are what is staying down, feed it fuzzies!

Are they hypo related? Hypo related animals "can" have feeding issues and need to be raised slowly.

Every one is an individual. I have a baby I am selling to a customer that wants me to make sure it takes F/T. First time it was offered frozen thawed to room temp it took it right away. Others in the past have not taken F/T ever.
 
I agree with Dave, listen to your animals. Check their weight now, and let them gain at least 50% before you test a prey increase again.
