Hi peeps, Sylvester is in blue and for the first time since I got him he has refused his pinky, he recently moved into a larger viv too and I cant help but feel concerned as he has never missed a feed before, and because worrying is what I do All the temps ect are correct and although its a bigger viv there are more hides and plants etc, and he ate fine last week in his new gaff. It's because he is in blue huh?

Most likely yes because he is blue. Very rarely do mine eat when in blue.

Could be a combination of being blue and new home. We all know there's no need to panic if they miss a feed but it's easier said than done when it's your own snake!!

Spot usually skips two meals at shed time as he wont touch food from when his belly goes milky. He near inhales the mouse the day after a shed though so nothing to worry about.

Barnaby normally spends most of his time at the top if his terrarium looking for food (thats where i defrost his mice), but shows no interest whatsoever in food while he is in blue, I don't even bother offering him anything. But I know as soon as he has shed he will be desperate for his dinner, so I don't worry about it.
