Interesting, thanks for the tip. Actually our royal took his first mouse of the year last Sunday - he sporadically chooses to eat and I have no doubt he will eventually so we usually just leave him alone and throw in a mouse every couple of weeks and one time he will eat!
The dums is still off his food - typical again for him. Last year he had 6 rats the whole year,, male snakes!
We tend not to be too concerned about these guys,. our male hogg island is another consistent non-feeder through the winter months, as they don't lose weight and are very healthy. I would like to see the dums eat something though before Autumn rolls round again so will definately try your advice.
It may be a good idea to breed the fiches like you mentioned.
