I recently got a white yearling male from Jerry. I've had him since Sept 16. He hasn't eaten yet and by my count its been 5 weeks! I've triend scenting fuzzies with tuna and green tree frogs. His skin isn't sagging or anything, he's still drinking and going to the bathroom. I thought he ate once, but the little $*@& mouse was hidding by the heat rock. I've left the snake alone for about 2 weeks solid now. I've changed the water every sunday as there is no defacation in it...I keep the humidity around 70%. Night temp is about 67 and day is about 79-78...



I'm losing sleep over this and Jerry seems to be getting annoyed with all my questions. I keep hearing that the altitude change is why he hasn't eaten yet, as I live in Wyoming. So I guess I'm turning to others for suggestions. I'm about to put a pinky down him myself...I guess I don't want to be another of these "starved himself to death" stories. Suggestions or comments are welcome...good or bad.
