Have a yearling Dumeril Boa - refuses to eat - am reduced to having to try and force feed a Fuzzie. Could use some help if anyone out there can 'walk me thru' the process. Email me direct if you can help.
Thanks to all.

How long has he refused to eat? what size is he, his cage, what are his temps like, what have you atempted to feed him? go ahead and give us all the details and Ill see if I can help 9 times out of 10 it something minor that can be corrected without force feeding, Jason

Janice:
Dumeril is a yearling - purchased in March from LLL Reptile - has not eaten since I have gotten him - he is housed in a 10-gallon aquarium tank - I have tried both F/T and live pinkies and fuzzies, and nothing - he will not eat. LLL Reptile assures me he was eating live fuzzies prior to shipment - So I'm not sure what
this little guys problem is -
Email me direct please and provide your
email address..
