Well, some of you remember me getting a baby hog nose at the Anahiem show from Brian from SNakebytes. Weve become pals over time with this dumb snake being the start of this relationship, and on september 10th 09, I had to email him that it would not eat. So since then, it has not eaten, until today. A freakin baby, how in the hell could it last this long. How?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Freakin amazing, and its been eating away at my gut ever since. Brian was going to replace it if all else failed but holy crap, it ate.

Here is my email to him.

"Dude, I thought I was going to have to actually feed this thing a tuna sandwich. Can you believe this little hog nose just took its first meal in about 8 fn months? You know how small he was at the Anaheim show, 8 months dude, my first email to you was Sep 10th. He turned his nose up at the pink right now, then tuna juice on its head, then he ate it. Im just amazed for his size he could last that long. I was thinking of just eating him tonight with some pasta but I guess he can stay."

Wow man, what a stubborn snake. Glad it finally ate for you. I once had a female box turtle that did the same thing. She barely ate anything one summer that I was afraid she wouldn't make it through hibernation. But never underestimate a reptile.

lmao no crap huh. Im serious man I was getting close to just making a youtube vid of me eating this jerk.
 
crazy 8 months , congrats on it eating.
 
Yea they can go a long time...I once had a baby Cali king escape, in November. It came out of the wall in June, not sure if it ate at all but it hadn't grown at all so I'm guessing not. They can last awhile...the concern is if they get "too far gone" but now that he's eaten you should be good. Has he eaten again?
