my adult male refused food for the past three weeks (two feedings, one week shedding)

he seemed interested in the food but would not strike.

I had read here and elsewhere that you can leave the dead rodent in overnight and see what happens.

I tried that this evening after he refused it today but I have to admit the whole time I was thinking 'there is no way he'll eat the rat after it's cooled off and has been laying on the floor'

I went down after a few hours of darkness to throw the thing away.....and it was in my snake's BELLAH~!

oh gods of internet snake wisdom, I bow down in awe


I never thought it would work but it did

so now that I've got him eating it's my job to figure out why he's suddenly become so shy about eating
