Found this. great idea for anyone who wants one but does not have the tank to support it or is starving the one they have.

very cool! quite an expensive feeder tho for $30 for a python lol. I'm sure you could just get a replacement tube for cheaper tho or just some vinyl tubing. good to keep in mind tho!

If she's just feeding regular frozen brine shrimp those mandarins will still starve to death. She should be feeding real pods or at least soaking the shrimp in something that can provide some real nutrients.

While adult brine shrimp are less nutritious than newly hatched napalli and may not be nutritionally complete or ideal on their own, they are far from being nutrient-less and still a fantastic food for fish.

definitely need actual pods: you can order them by the bottle, but it's very, very pricey at the rate they go through pods.

Not being nutritionally complete implies that brine shrimp aren't enough. Like I said.

if she got them to eat through a tube, she could use other foods no? i thought the same thing when I heard it was brine. wouldn't mysis be better?
