I personaly think its the breeding season so they go off there meal , but its nothing to worry about also i would feed one ex large mouse instead of two large mice and you can feed him every 7 - 14days . But dont worry about him not eating for couple of weeks snakes can go long time with out a feed . Keep us posted how things get on . |

At least 10 days for xl mice, though I would recommend 14 as a safe minimum. |
