    He may still be stressed some, or maybe he just didn't want it! I would wait a full week before you try again! BTW, how is how is your husbandry at this time?

    Re: has not eaten in 2 weeks

    Can you give us details of what your snake enclosure is like, what temps, how much have you been handling him? any thing you can think of to help. Pictures are worth 1000 words maybe more on the internet... if you can get pictures that would help alot.

    Also remain calm, I just had one go off since October, have only gotten two meals in him in since. You don't need to worry yet.

    Trade ya! I have one that hasn't eaten in going on 8 months...

    Two weeks isn't long at all. Evaluate your temps and set-up, then give him a week off and try again.

    Re: has not eaten in 2 weeks

    Ya, my oldest bp (5yrs) went on a 10 month feeding strike. Hes like 1400 grams as of now and eats only once a month, its his schedule and I cant change it. On the other hand my female pastel would eat every day if I let her. These animals aren't very habitual. Its either stress, or they just don't wanna eat. I wouldn't worry too much.

    just offer food once a week... not eating for 2 or 3 weeks is no problem at all...
