As a rule, STPs are great eaters. Mina (my blood python) will pretty much eat anything, anytime, anywhere. During her last feeding, her rat slipped out of the tongs and I accidentally dropped it on her…and she still ate it. She’ll even eat when deep in blue, or immediately after being moved into a new enclosure. Nothing seems to hinder her desire to eat!

So yeah, I very much doubt your handsome boy will give you any feeding trouble. I suppose that someone somewhere has probably had a fussy short tail, but generally speaking, they’re very reliable eaters and will typically eat whatever and whenever you offer.

Yeah, my STP will also eat in blue. Seems like he is always hangry!

That’s great to hear! I’m always a little nervous when I get a new snake baby! The first thing he did was take a drink of water! :wink::tada:

I feel ya. I’m always nervous about getting a new snake eating, or switching prey type (like going up in size, switching from live to f/t, or switching from mice to rats), or getting a snake eating after enclosure upgrades. Fortunately both my girls are good eaters and haven’t given me any serious issues with any of the above, but it still always makes me a little anxious. It’s part of the reason I’ve stayed away from ball pythons and other species that are known to be finicky eaters.

Congratulations! 1 out of 2 for a first feeding attempt is good! Your nice stp may just need some more time to adjust to the new environment, or eat tonight when no one’s awake😄

Ok I am so excited! Luz ate too! I kind of thought he would because he has had his head out pretty much all day looking at me! Lol! Now if I could just get my stubborn house snake to eat! Lol!

I am a happy camper! I always email the breeder the first time a snake eats. So far all of them have been happy to hear the good news! :sunglasses::wink::blush::snake::+1:

Yaaaaaayy!! :tada::partying_face: Very happy both your new babies have taken their first meals with you, that’s always such a relief.

My blood python took a while before she started striking her meal off the tongs (and sometimes she still won’t if she senses my cat(s) nearby), but she’ll always eat it if I just leave it in with her.

I am not complaining at all! Whether they eat off tongs or in the middle of the night! It makes no difference to me! :blush::snake::+1:
