Hi, I am looking for any suggestions or advice on what I should do in a situation. I have a newly wild caught (about a month ago) gopher snake that came from somewhere near Oregon, that refuses to eat. I started with my usual frozen/thawed white mice, no interest, then tried live, same thing. A friend told me that they had a snake that would only take mice without any white on them. I've tried dark frozen thawed mice, not live dark mice yet, but still worried that it might not work. Can anyone give me suggestions?? Been slightly over a month now, and unsure of when he ate last before being caught.

--Chris
