Hi,



Since my male died i recently got at new male of Boiga Dendrophila Gemmicincta. He was smaller than my other male (only about 60 cm) but othervise looked alert and maybe a little skinny but nothing seríous.

I fed him 5 days after getting him home and he ate 3 small mouse jumpers from forceps.

Since i have not been able to get him to feed. About a month now and he is beginning to look a little skinny and not being so alert anymore and he quickly runs out of energy.

I think i have tried just about anything.

I tried mice and rats in various sizes (The only petstore dealing with small lizards, frogs etc has been closed due to relocation - opens next thursday so of course i go there to se what i can find).

I tried feeding from forceps,

in seperate cage,

leaving food in the cage overnight,

leaving food and snake in a box overnight,

moving him to smaller enclosure,

split open the head of the food,

holding behind head and put food in his mouth,

changing day/night temperature



anyone have any sugestion to what i can try? It would be greatly appreciated )



Thank You
