Hey,

Try a hopper instead of a pinkie...also try "cupping" the snake with the hopper.

Let me know if you have never 'cupped'.

Good luck, i feel for you.

However, to be honest, 5 weeks is NOTHING for candoia to go off feed. I have a large female australis that was off- feed for 5 months with no ill effects. Then one day, she just started eating again.

Hang in there!
