Looking for some assistance with two boas which have yet to eat. One is a DUMERIL BOA, yearling, and the other is a CENTRAL AMERICAN BOA, 3 months old. Neither has eaten. I have had the dumeril boa since March and the central american boa for three weeks. Both were eating prior to shipment. My temps and enclosure for both are fine and I have offered both live and f/t prey. My question is, how long can they go without eating before they die?
I cant believe a snake would starve themselves to death, but I quess it is possible. They are housed in sterlite/rubbermaid containers, have aspen bedding and adequate hide spots, with UTH. so I am baffled and could use some help.
thank you all in advance.
