Just an update on Buster, after moving his faun into the Viv on Sunday night we've left him alone. Too every thing out of the faun last night except the water bowl, put some paper down and tried to feed him. I tapped his tail a cuple of times and he struck twice but didn't take the pinky, so I left it in there with him and covered the front of the viv. This morning the pinky was a nice lump in Buster, THANK GOD. We now have a feeding snake. Thanks to everyone for the advice.
Cheers

Well, is this a fairytale ending or what - while I was making that last post, I had a mouse in with my Cy, who hasn't eaten since 28 July (not a long time, I know) - and now she's eaten her mouse too!
It is a lovely sight, watching that lump go down into an empty little belly ... |

| Here we go again, tried to feed him again on the 25th he didn't take it so left the pinky in with him over night and it was still there in the morning. Left him until monday and put him in a small container with the pinky and he ate it overnight however he regurgitated it yesterday. Since we got him on the 30th of july he has only fed once and didn't feed for at least a week before we got him. He is looking skinny and his spine is showing. Could he be a snake that just doesn't feed? |

Here is something you could try, it was something I read about on a different forum.
Try soaking the pinky in tuna juice, quite a lot of people swear by it.
Hope it works.
Good luck. |
Best wishes

Hi, I'm really sorry to hear about Buster's regurge. Hopefully it will be just one of those things, but I can appreciate how worried you must be by now.
You've probably read it already, but if not,there is a good sticky on regurging.
I do hope you manage to get Buster's problem sorted out. All the best! |

Don't panic too much, some snakes are slow starters, a couple of mine are 2 months old and have never fed!
One suggestion, may be worth moving the snake, high traffic on a wooden floor is highly likely to produce lots of vibrations, vibrations are the snakes only way of hearing, and lots of 'noise' can be very stressful, especially if its used to quiet.
How big is his enclosure? For a young baby I would recommend a permanent (for now) tub size of about 6x12 inches, don't worry about it being too small, it helps them feel secure.
If moving is not an option, try getting some rubber matting to go underneath, that will dampen the vibes.
Bring the temps down from 29 to 27, a small change can have a large impact, and its plenty warm enough, but will slow his metabolism so food will last longer (theory, not tried it personally)
