still cant get my snake 2 eat. had him now about 9 weeks and all he' eat in that time is 1 mouse pinkie. that woz about 2 weeks ago and he shed his skin just after, but ive tried him twice since he shed on another pinkie and a rat pup but he's not bothered with either. done everything i can think and tried all different methods but 2 no avail.thinking maybe of live feeding next, but he dont appear 2 b losing weight and he looks healthy enough. just dont know what 2 do next? |

2 or 3 at a time is better than every 2 days, I wouldn't feed more often than every 5. |

do you think i would b better with 2 at a time, or just the 1 every couple of days? |

Agreed ^
You could try more than one at a time though. |

i'd try to get him more established before changing what you're feeding him. |

tried him again on sunday night, only with a mouse pinkie and he ate it straight away. did'nt strike but i dont think thats his way and the only reason i tried a pinkie is cuz thats the only thing he's eat since i had him. as there only small, ive just tried him with another pinkie and he again has eat it. i'm well pleased he has started eating something, but should i keep him on these 2 get him feeding regular or move him onto bigger straight away? and if so, when? |

just try to go 5-7 days before each attempt...and keep weighing him weekly if he refuses, just so we can keep a check on his weight  |

he seems fine, he's out pretty much everynight roaming around, and shed his skin no problem at all a couple of weeks ago.he does'nt appear 2 b losing any weight but have only been monitoring it for about the last 6 weeks as i did'nt think i would have these problems, and my scales aint the greatest but he certainly aint losing any according 2 the scales |

dont paint them...
you can get plenty of cheap greenery from Dunelms rather than pay rep shop prices..
how is your snake doing? how much weight has it lost?
