 Feeding responses concerning Bloods and Dumirals

I am planning on getting both of these snakes soon and was wondering if they are "Good with feeding" if you know what I’m saying like strong feeding responese in ideal conditions of course. I am really tired of snakes refusing food for months and just want to know what to expect with both of these sankes.

Depends on what kind of snakes you own. Lots of colubrids and ball pythons go off during the cold season. I know you have a Woma python, does that go off feed a lot? My Dumeril’s is almost food crazy. I know a few other keepers that can say the same about their Dum’s. If you are interested I’m selling my male Dums. PM me if you want to know more, cause I shouldn’t really talk about it on here.

No, my woma fortunitally didnt go off. Thats why I love him to death. He just took his first medium rat. I do have a few colubrids, 3 ball pythons, and 2 going on 3 sand boas, and strangely my hognosed went off food this winter. So thats why I get really agitated when things just stop feeding. This winter I had like 3 snakes to feed. The others went through really long sheds and just sat around. It was really boring this winter. So thats why I just want to make sure because I’ve heard of even some of the most experianced keepers having trouble feeding their dumirals.
Thankyou

Everything sounds normal... my dum really didn’t ever stop feeding since I got him. I can’t wait to get some Womas of my own. I can’t believe yours is already on rats... holy cow LOL. You shouldn’t have any problem with either species.
