i posted a few days ago about my baby b.c.i. not eating. ive tried everything and was wondering if i could try buying an anole and seeing if my snake would eat that...any thoughts?

How long has it been since it ate? how old is it? has it gone through its first shed yet if so how long ago?

ya..its all in another thread a little further down. ive also tried raising the temps a little but that didnt affect anything. what i was told by the person who sold me the snake was that it had eaten twice already. it had been a week since its last meal when i bought it so its now been about 3 1/2 weeks since it supposedly ate. and it has deffinetly lost weight. i really dont think theres much else i can do except just keep giving it food every few days and seeing if she will take it.

are you feeding it the same thing they were? were they feeding live and your trying f/t? does it have a hide spot? sometime they help the smaller ones feel more secure, if its losing wieght I would try force feeding it but dont shove it all the way down just get the prey items head past its jaws and let it take it the rest of the way. is it drinking? try soaking it as well if it hasnt defacated for you something could be lodged in there sometimes soaking will help them defacate anyway hope this helps best of luck Jason
