Vince has refused his mouse (large mouse) for 3 weeks in a row now. temps are normal, he's usually a great feeder. I don't know why he's not any ideas?

By the way, does this mean he's probably male?

Thanks for the info it's probably 'breeding season blues' he's trashing his viv every night. thanks for the reinsurance.

Eddies not eaten in two weeks ill offer him food every week till he takes it lol so i feel your pain/anxiety but plenty of others have reassured me as they have you that its nothing ive done its just the breeding season blues lol and i did take him away from his gf just over 2 weeks ago so maybe hes sulking lol

My Rhubarbs now gone 12 weeks without eating but as long as he's still trashing his viv every night I know he's alright and he'll eat when he's ready. Easier said than done I know but try not to worry.

Im with the others. Breeding season will more than likely be the cause. Snakes can last alot longer without eating. xx

A few people have commented the same recently and it seems to be due to it being breeding season. 3 weeks is not a long time to not eat as others have mentioned that theirs have not fed for months, so I would not worry yet.

Possibly due to it being breeding season but if you tell us about your set-up etc we can check for any other possible issues. Make sure you keep an eye on his weight tho as if it is down to breeding season then he shouldn't lose much weight.
