Sorry to bring this up when it seems that everyone is leaving it be but I have to say- I agree with everyone else that he should have a hide in the warm end.
A toilet roll tube or cardboard box with a hole in will do. No expense is needed but it may help your snake out loads. |

cut up foil/cling film rolls for little'uns, toilet roll tubes for medium ones, poster tubes for the semi-big un's (from Lewy's work) and massive paper rolls for the massive ones. (my mates a printer). They love 'em  |

Thanks again to everyone for their advice - I will not drop the subject with my husband but I will drop it from this discussion! I AGREE WITH YOU ALL!
Kellog ate first thing this morning, spent most of time since in hide and now out acting as though nothing has happened. So what should I expect next? Told you I would need more advice. When do I know when he needs feeding again? Old owner used to feed him every 5 days, is that ok?
Particular thanks to SexyBear, for advice and for sticking up for me, despite me being a pathetic neurotic owner! |

Glad to hear Kellog ate 
I really do hope you get sumwhere with hubby - but I still reckon you should just sneak a toilet roll in when he isnt looking!!
I understand that my new snake needs to be fed every 5 days but she is only a tinsy baby, so not sure if the same would apply to kellog, but I'm sure someone will be able to help you out

Seeing as he has lost some weight during the time he hasnt been eating, I would try him again in 5 days and see how he's feeling. It may help him to put weight back on, feeding every 5 days for a couple of weeks. Keep and eye on his weight, and if he doesnt want to eat in 5 days then try him in 7 or 8.
and you're welcome for the advice (and you're not pathetic OR neurotic, just being a good owner.) |

Kellog doing great, has spent short time roaming viv and quite a lot of the time sprawled out under bulb. Now peering out at me from hide saying "take me out, take me out!". Lol! When can I handle him without disturbing digestion?

| Thank goodness he's eaten, Kellog. And don't worry about asking stuff, evryone is very supportive. Gingerpony has answered some of my questions which must have seemed so basic, but if you don't know, you don't know! Hope all goes well from now on. Ally. |

Handled Kellog on Monday and Tuesday, which was wonderful, and then nervously dangled mouse in viv this morning. He stared...tongue flick....slow uncoil...and STRIKE!
Was so worried his first feed was going to be a one off! Kids and hubby desperate to have their turn feeding him now! Lol!
