what does it mean if ...?

zawakees Jun 23, 2003 10:41 PM

as a feeding technique, i tried leaving the prekilled fuzzy in his tank overnight, himidity is 60%, temp is 29-30 C, he's got a humidity retreat box, another hiding spot and a tree ... and he hasn't eaten for maybe a month now (i've had him for 20 days now).

i always try to feed him with the same mouse in a seperate box first, is he scared of the mouse ? why wouldn't he want to eat, he must be hungry; i doubt its stress ...

thanks

I would not be concerned as long as the snake is not loosing weight a lot. Also, try to put the mouse in at around dusk, use a live rat fuzzy, and leave it in there overnight.

How big is the snake? If it is only eating fuzzy or hopper size prey it looks like your enclosure is pretty big. Neonate bp's really do not need a lot of space and sometimes feel more secure in a smaller enclosure.
