Hello,
My 5 year old female hasn't eaten for 6 weeks.
Took her to the vet, he said she seemed fine.
She shed 3 weeks ago and hasn't been out of her hide since, looked at the feeding thread and have tryed everything except the live feeding and the force feeding.
Not sure when is the time to start panicking!
Thanks
Dan

6 wks for a 5 year old snake realy isnt anything to be bothered about. She could go months an months without any negative problems. Just check setup is all ok. Offer feed once a week, a monitor weight. Sudden weight loose is when you need to be concerned.
