Hello, I received 0.1 gonyosoma eight days ago at a local show. She is set up in a 15 gallon high aquarium with lots of climbing branches and a arboreal hide box. I mist her twice a day and she drinks a bunch. Two days ago I offered a small fuzzy mouse to her and she seemed completely disinterested. I removed it after a day. The man I purchased her from says she takes frozen fuzzies so I assumed she would jump on a live one. She is wild caught 3ft 4" and has been treated twice for parasites and also given some kind of electrolyte mineral solution I guess for stress and dehydration. Im sorry, the man I got her from administered that stuff a long time ago. She is a long term captive and has decent weight. I know its only been eight days and she is probally just acclimating so Im not stressed. I was hoping to get her on live or frozen mice without having to scent them with lizards or giving live lizards. Im sorry for the length of this message I was just wondering if any gonyosoma owners out there had any information or feeding techniques that works for them. Thank you for your time, David.
