HELP! My snake doesn't want to eat!!!

miki00 Jun 19, 2004 11:37 AM

I bought my baby corn a month ago, i feed him 2 weeks ago, and he regurgited the pinky, then i tried feeding him 1 week ago and he refused to eat. So i waited and yesterday i bought him a pinky, I feed him and he started good, but when he got to the middle of the pinky he stopped eating and left, leaving the pinky alone. I tried swinging it infront of him so he could eat him, but no response... I froze the pinky and today i thaw it and put it in his cage, also swinging it infront of him, but nothing happened...
He hasn't eated in 1 month!!! What can i do?!

>>He may be stressed by your presence.
Place the snake and the food item in a small tupperware, glad ware or similar type container and put it in a dark area. Leave it overnight if necessary.

how long did you leave it in there?
you might want to wait a few days and try it over night.
