Once again - an albino refuses to eat for me!!!!!

One day. I think I'll go for a black pastel albino if I try again. Maybe the combo will prove to be a better eater. Plus I like the pattern on them. :thumbsup:
 
I know you said you are sending the albino off to its new owner but I thought I would pass some information that I got from a friend that has helped me greatly.

I currently have a few albino balls ranging in size from 355g to 2100g. All 3 have been finicky feeders and when I had the 355g female start dropping weight I consulted a friend and he told me to use a small box or brown paper bag.

Take your p/k f/t or choice of food item and place it in the bag along with the snake. staple or tape shut and place in enclosure with 1/2 over heat source and other 1/2 not. Insure the bag or box is just large enough to allow snake to move of heat or on. To large of a bag or box will not give the sense of security needed.

This helped my 355g girl start eating like a champ. I fed her like this maybe 5 times and now she snatches anything in her vicinity. She did turn down food once in the bag but I think it is because i bumped the enclosure and it may have freaked her out. Other than that I get an empty bag in the morning and a lump in my happy snake.

Some people I talk to dont like this but it works 90% of the time for me and if it works and they are eating then it is right to me....
