    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 a pair of amazons, one male and one female, ive been keeping them together and about 2-3 weeks ago, the male has went off feed. The female however pounds food with no problems, i have since then removed the male from the enclosure thinking over exposure to a female or just another boa in general has caused him to go off feed. From talking to other atb breeders, all have said that males can be the pickiest when it comes to eating so im only thinking that this is the cause. He is currently on f/t adult mice, im thinking of trying live or maybe scenting with bird. Does anyone have any recommendations at this point? Thanks for your input!
 
Update

After separating male from female offered male f/t again with no luck,
The tried live adult mouse, he did eat this time. Will try f/t again after to hopefully continue keeping him on f/t
 
Hi, I've had male amazons go off feed during the breeding season for six months straight. This is normal....as long as he appears healthy he'll be O.K.
