Two years ago I purchased a male pastel,from this site and the breeder said it was a good eater, maybe for him, for 5 months mine would not eat, already knowing that balls do this, I never contacted the breeder, I was patient and waited him out, now two years later he is not the best eater but he does eat. I think that people need to really understand the fact that this type of snake will do this and not to get to upset and wait them out. For all you know he could have three snakes housed in that larger enclosure and that is why it is not eating. I make sure ever snake that leaves here that the person buying them know that these snakes go off food, when stressed or just because they want to. I stress it so much to make sure they understand what they are getting into. Hell My one female went 9 months and I did not even get eggs from her. But that is all part of the "ball game". Best of luck I hope all works out with this. I would ask for some pictures of the enclosure and of the snake, tell him to send you a copy of the vet bill maybe he said something to the vet that he is not telling you.
