| have you tried heating the food with a hair drier, dipping the head in boiling water for a few seconds, braining, leaving it in over night, i think i read that someone had got theirs eating by scenting it with chicken stock too (i might have dreamed that one though lol) |

Hi, you'd be better off posting this thread on general keeping - perhaps mods can move it for you.
Yes, as Blackskull says, and also at this time of year it's normal - I have a lad of almost 2 who's fasted since last Halloween until yesterday. I nearly fainted with shock when he grabbed his rat lol.
It's their mating season from autumn till spring and during this period most of them just don't eat, for varying lengths of time - I think of it as hibernation and offer food every 10-14 days until they decide to eat again. But when you have a new snake it's always a worry until it eats for you, I know. |
