I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice. My two BP's recently have not been feeding. 3 weeks for the female, ad 2 weeks for he male. Although I should clarify that the male was in shed for 9 days of those 2 weeks.

Anyway, the look healthy, act healthy when being handled and show now other signs of anything wrong. The only thing I can think of is that about 4-5 weeks ago I upped the size of their food from rat pups to small rats. They made the transition very well and they both ate twice at the next size.

My questions are:

1. Has anyone every experienced their snakes going off feed for a while when they switched to larger food?

2. Can anyone offer any advice as to why they arent eating if its not associated with the food size.

I should also say that the cage parameters are pretty much ideal. 80-90 degs F on the hot side, 70-80 on the cool side. Humidity about 73% (male cage as he was in shed) and about 60% in the females cage.

I know some snakes go weeks or even months w/o eating but I just want to make sure that I am not overlooking something and that I get to a point that I cant correct if it indeed is a husbandry issue.

One more thing that I should mention is that up until this point they were very very good eaters.

Thanks again to all who reply.
