i'm having problems my redtail just wont eat he is 6ft good body weight..i tried f/t and live rats in different sizes.
i soaked him in warm water to help him if he was blocked up he did go it has been 3 weeks since he has eaten so he should have gone 2 weeks ago so im thinking he was blocked.. he is encaged with my 4ft female so its been hard to keep track of the bowel movements. she eats great a machine..i checked mouth no probs there..please help me

Without any background information, or husbandry info, I would recommend not worrying about it. Males often go off feed this time of year. How long have you had him? If he has not had any problems, and shows NO change in attitude, he is fine.

However, if he is new, or if you notice a change in behavior (before clinical symptoms) get him to a vet ASAP. By the time you notice something it is often too late, better safe than sorry. A complete checkup, with blood work, and fecal should be under $200.

ive had him 5 months and no change in attitude..thanks for the response..

Well, he is just probablly looking for love, tis that time of year for Boas
