Held falcore for the first time today and tried to feed him. He hasn't eaten in nearly 3 weeks as had to let him settle in. But he must be hungry by now. He refused to eat so thought I'd let him get used to been handled by me for a few more days and try feeding him again. If anyone had any advice let mr know.
If you pop yourself over to the rainbowboa forum as well and ask on there, one of our members recently got a KSB from recollection and had problems with getting it to feed.
3 weeks isnt that long for a snake to go without food, so I wouldn't worry to much, yet. What set up do you have him in? and when you offered the food, did you feed him in his enclosure or in a seperate tub? Also, how are you heating the enclosure?
hold off the handling until he does feed you tried braining the food? leaving it with him in a small tub for an hour or two? dont stress..snakes can go a lot lot longer than 3 weeks without food

Yeah i have a seperate tub. Gonna try again tonight left it with him for bout 30 mins I'll train braining it and will leave it in there a bit longer. Have only handled him for few mins at time just for hm not to get too stressed when I take him out to feed.
Falcor refused first feed
