Finally

Back in October 2013 I got a mojave royal python and he went off his food. After trying a few techniques, he was still refusing to feed. I tried braining and changed his food item as I wanted to try everything before multimammate mice as royals can get a taste for them and refuse everything else. When I was feeding my snakes on Thursday night, my corns refused to eat jumbo mice. I thought instead of wasting it I will try the mojave expecting a refusal but to my surprise (I near had a heart attack) he struck and ate it. I must say, when a fasting royal decides to eat, it is happiness in a nutshell!! I just hope he will keep this up.

If anyone has a fasting royal that is a good weight (mine was 1050g when he ate) remember: the key is not to panic unless they are losing loads of weight. It is a good idea to keep records of their weight to ensure they are not losing too much weight and just be patient as eventually they should eat.
