I have a LTC male dumerils boa that has not eaten for six months and is starting to loose some weight. I took him to the vet and he has a clean bill of health. His tem is between 78-82, humidity is the same as its alwasy been. I have been feeding him fresh killed rats. When I stick in a fresh killed rat that is still kicking, he will come over to it to check it out then he refuses it. I always use to get a good response out of him by doing that in the past. He has never been too fond of f/t rats. Has anyone had any luck with those appetite stimulants. I need some advice

Thanks

Doug
