| My snake is 18-24 months old, am unsure about its sex, however I was sold it as a male. My problem is that the snake has refused its last 3 feeds, now I know that this is only a short period of time for a snake not to eat but I recently lost a younger snake that also refused its feeds. I really dont want to lose this snake so would appreciate any advise, if it helps this snake and the younger one that died both lived in the same vivarium. |

How are your temps? have you tried just leaving him for a week then trying, do you take him out to feed, leave him in viv/faun? or maybe put down on bit kitchen roll, leave overnight.
Please dont worry just yet! |

| I have tried braining the mouse and putting a slice in it around the guts, the temps are at what they should be. I always take the snake out of his viv to feed as that is what i've read on most web sites about corns, but recently i have tried leaving the mouse in the viv overnight to see if that helped, but it didn't. The snake ate regularly every saturday up until about 3 weeks ago, nothing has changed in his viv except the other snake passing away 10 days ago. |
