Hi peeps,

Had my king snake for over 2 months and she still ain't fed. I am getting really concerned. Should I be worried. Same goes to one of my hog nose and the hog seems to be loosin weight where as the king doesn't.

Temps are all correct and I even left them for 2 full weeks without touching whatsoever.

how old are they?

They need to be handled as little as possible, only for essential stuff like cleaning until they are eating properly

Pixie my hognose has just eaten!!! after 2 months of trying it has happened but i have to say it was a very slow operation!

see bolow a list of what i tried.

-leaving in a small tub overnight with the pinkie in
-making the pinkie jump like a frog
-brain exposure
-scenting with a TIN of tuna. Notice i said tin.
-Scenting with a slice of REAL UNCOOKED TUNA......And thats the daddy!! Scent with a piece of fine dolphin friendly tuna steak.

I have now kept a small piece of dolphin friendly tuna in the freezer for each feed.

The crazy thing is, everyone says its males that a fussier than females....well my fussy one is female and i also own a male hoggie who is a gannet!!
