There's some gorgeous brbs on there. Think I like the look of TA19 best of the ones 'not ready yet'.

has anyone heard of braining ???? got a non feeder. overheard a guy in a reptile shop mention this.apparently you expose the brain of the thawed food , its supposed to be more appealing to the snake. and make it want to eat. dont get me wrong, theres not a chance i could physically do this ,but would be interesting to know if he was talking rubbish or not , he did seem to be full of it !!!!! any tried and tested methods to get my philipe to eat ? (hes just shed today !)

Yup it's a technique that can be used. I have tried and failed with it on my Royal trying to get her over to rats.

I use this frequently as i have a non-feeder royal i puncture the skull with a dart and with plyers gently squeeze a bit of brain out the skull, royal strikes everytime with it like this so its well worth a try if you ever get a non-feeder

And we cut the legs of mice for our milk snake as he was abused and so has a problem with his jaw and can't manage to feed if there are legs sticking out!
