I do, and I did.



At 8 months old I seriously doubt that the snake in question is on hunger strike pending finding a snake of the opposite sex to pro-create with. If it was 18 months I would consider it a possible maybe.



Just make sure to have your temps right (hot end and cool end), give it a place to hide in both the hot end and the cool end, and make sure it has fresh water available at all times. Perhaps it is pre-shed getting ready to go opaque (blue) and not in the mood to eat. More than likely is that it is just stressed out from the move and new surroundings. Give it another week before you get worried about it not eating, keep an eye on it for signs of an upcoming shed, and don't give up.



Sometimes it takes a live pink / fuzzie to "kick start" a stressed snake back into eating, just try and get it back on frozen thawed as soon as possible so that it does not become dependant on live food items. Give it a few days and then try a live mouse of the apropriate size (pinks or fuzzies) and see what happens.



Best of luck.



Best of luck,
