so morris hasent eaten in nearly a month for no reasson i attempt a feed to night and at first it looked as if he wasent going to play ball tonight all he wanted was to escape and slither off so i let the little guy get half way out of his feeding rub whilst dangling a rat by him by my supprise he strikes and coils a wave of relief came over me i was starting to get worried as he lost nearly 15g's according to my scales and all that was needed was to feed outside the rub now i can go to bed happy
well done nice, wish 2 of mine would do that haven't really eaten at all this year, but not really losing any weight. but it is always nicer when they are feeding.

Well done, try not to get yourself too worried though, its how the behave in nature. I have one which ate for the first time this year last week and another 2 which still haven't eaten in 2010!
Congrats it is always stressful when they don't eat but not to them to us :) I have re-housed three of my hatchlings into new vivs and they all decided to go off their food for a few weeks but now they are all back to eating normally :) you just have to go with their flow and if they don't eat when you offer just accept, if they are healthy and still inquisitive then they are probaly fine, check their weights periodically and if there is no big weight loss then keep them stress free and they will eventually eat in their own good time
at last
