My year old yellow rat snake hasn't eatten in about 3 1/2 weeks. He ate two fuzzies the last time he ate then started to shed.He actually shed last week and I offered him two fuzzies but did not pay them any mind at all.He has been active as I have seen him hiding in his plastic bush,sitting in his tree and just slitering around the tank when no one is around. The fuzzy mice have been in there for 2 days and he could careless about them. Should I worry or is this normal? When spring came he ate every week then slowed down when summer came along. I guess he has always been like this. Last year he did the same thing ... sometimes would eat and then would go 3-4 weeks without food.



Should I offer him something else like an anole?



I recently got a king snake and their tanks are next to each other but I have a piece of cardboard between the tanks.Could this have something to do with it as well? I really don't have any other places to put the tanks. My basements temp flux's to much,my little front room is more or less a play room for the kids,my bedroom is where my cat stays because he doesn't wanna be bothered with my dogs that are downstairs.The kids don't want the snakes in their bedrooms so as you can see I am limited in options..lol
