    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....

Hi,
Two of my jcp hatchlings aren't eating. They shed about a month ago and have offered pinky and fuzzy mice. I've tried live, f/t, and using chicken broth. Should i be worried yet? any ideas to get them to eat? Thanks so much!

have you tried super-heating?
i'll usually drop a fuzz under a very hot lamp for awhile to cook it up
remember these guys go for heat, so it might help...
 
Your best bet is to give them a perch and a live crawler. A month isn't cause for alarm yet, I go through this pretty much every year with at least one, lol. I have found that although crawlers may look to be too big, they stimulate the feeding response much better than the smaller stuff. Once they take a meal or three, you can start trying them on f/t...usually a form of "slap" teasing is required. (take the f/t prey item in long tweezers, and bump/tap the snake on the neck a bit below the head, do it again, then switch sides. It's kind of a pi$$ them off til they take the food thing)
