Wayne,........

While it's true that some of the things Cole mentioned could possibly trigger him to start feeding again, I would bet that he'll be back to feeding again within the next couple weeks. He will be absolutely fine until this happens, as healthy adult snakes can go an incredibly long period with no food, and show little to no weight loss. He has plenty of reserve to sustain him until he resumes his regular feeding behavior.

I have several male milksnakes that were absolute pigs before, that show little to no interest in food lately,....bottom line,...no big deal.


best regards, ~Doug
