Howdy, I hope you fine people might have some ideas for me. I have a 4-month old male San Filipe rosy boa, and up until about a month ago, he had been eating like a champ every week. I was so proud of him. Then he started refusing to eat all of a sudden - he'll put his nose up to the pinky, flick his tongue, hang out a bit, and then he'll just slither away from it. (I've been feeding him F/T pinkies.)

Now other than that, he seems fine - he's growing, he just had a healthy shed this past week, and he even comes out of his hiding spot from time to time. We just moved into a new house, and he also just shed, so maybe those two things are contributing?

I noticed a couple suggestions here to try boosting the temp in the cage, so I might try that. Any other ideas are most welcome! Maybe I just need to give him time to adjust again. If that's the case, how long can these little guys go before they need to be force-fed?
