A very nice, I mean an amazing boa.
For feeding, how long has it been and has it shown weight lose?

Try a live hopper or fuzzy see if they show interest with striking and constricting, that is half the battle. Other attempts would be a thawed out fuzzy in a paper bag. Or braining the fuzzy as well. All these works some better than others but as long as they are healthy, hunger instinct should be seen.

Also any photos of them in there cages and an explaination of how you keep them might help better find out what is happening.

They can go a while without a meal, but any length of time past a month IMO is likely not a good idea. Keep them well hydrated, and of course at optimum temps.

I have had many other people tell me that they will force feed rodent parts or pinky mice on non feeders. Get a little something inside their bellies to get them started.

I hope you get them going, great looking boas.

Hi Amanda,I was hoping you would have a male lipstick sunglow available for all those girls. That combination would just look incredible.
Thanks, Andreas
