Whats a normal feeding schedule ? Once everyother week ? It's been over a month since last feeding. I know they are slow at digesting. Thanks

if your animals wild caught, it may go on times where it doesnt eat. mine had done this. they usually eat once every two to three weeks. my female w/c solomon island ground boa didnt eat for over a month and a half before i finally got her eating.

Thanks Mike. It's been a month now since she ate last. I'm leaving mice pinkies in the cage and hoping again. I picked this viper boa up from one of the pet stores that I sell rats and mice to. So, it could well be wc. She is pretty handable though.

theyre all handlable, theyre very calm snakes. you could try a different type of mouse, mine only eats like black mice. it wont eat soft furred, or albinos due to the scent.
