My BCI is a little over a year old and has always done very well eating. However, he hasnt eaten in two weeks now (i know that isnt THAT long in reptile terms) and im getting a little concerned. I moved out of my apartment two weeks ago but i dont think that is an issue because his enviroment is still the same. He has shown no interest in the mouse i had last week or the one i tried to feed him today. What would you guys suggest? Anyone have some tips? Thanx.

Rellim,
....I would reconsider that the move two weeks ago may have caused your snake to go off feed. Perhaps there is something different causing him stress and that is what is causing him to refuse meals. Is he exposed to more activity or light or vibration than before? Is there a cat or dog coming near his cage now? Anyone smoking near his cage? Are you offering the same food? If offering frozen and thawed could they be old and freezer burned? Look at everything and you will probably figure it out. And...If the snake is healthy two weeks without eating is nothing to worry about.
