Bummer with the Fuzzies. All the Fuzzies ive ever bought were. ...well. ... covered in fur. Good luck with it.
Lol yeah sorry I meant fur that sticks up and stuff if that makes sense.
No tail wiggling this time, but some random head bopping again.
Thoughts?

I haven't found anything about it online so far.

Womas are known to do it

Let him be for twice as long as his usual feeding routine and then offer him furred and he will take them out of hunger no drama's.

That's feeding behaviour nothing more. I'd increase the size of his meal item.

The wiggly tail means excitement more than hunger as mine do it when they are near breeding and the females get excited when u introduce the males. Most womas eat anything you put out for them be it mice rats quail or even chicken necks which I don't use, give him a few weeks with o food then give him a hopper he will smash it for shore
Awesome
thanks. The second vid of his wiggly tail was after being fed 3 fairly big fuzzies lol he's a guys. Thanks for everyone's input
He's the biggest cutie <3
I went and bought new rats today and got a bit confused... I never realised the size difference between brands. The fuzzies that I've been feeding Steve are the same as wearers in a different brand. Is that common? So am I technically feeding him fuzzies or weaners?
I bought some small rats which are the next size up (and the same size as weaners in the other brand)
Is it possible for me to hurt Steve by feeding him something too big? Like, he's not going to force something into his mouth that he shouldn't, is he?
I got some more fuzzies(weaners?) just in case as well.

Fuzzies (called pup rats also) are rats that are not weaned from their mother. They look like little pups and their ears are down plus fur is short. Their eyes are still closed, or barely open also.Weaned rats eat food and can live away from their mother they are usually about 21 plus days of age. Their ears are up and the fur is longer. Judging from your photos, your woma looks like he should be taking a decent sized pup rat but I'd need to see a photo that shows his size clearly, to be sure. Your snake is not far from going to small weaned rats after this stage.
I'm glad you suggested to measure him - he's grown heaps! 7/7/13 he was 60cm and 110g. Today he's nearly 80cm! I don't have scales though, will have to invest in some...
A couple of pics - hope they give you the info needed
Edit: yay Steve! After ignoring it for the last half an hour he's finally eating his "small rat"

Yup I see the pics he's bigger then I guessed. He looks good! No question about it, he should be eating plus-sized small (ie weaned and grown for several days before frozen) rats of gradually increasing size.
Cool thanks
he got his "small rat" down and wasn't striking for more so I think I did good lol- Status
