    Not Eating Again
    My Juvinile dumeril's boa didn't eat for the first month I had him, and then I got him to eat 3 weeks in a row by dropping the f/t in and covering the enclosure with a blanket for full darkness and privacy, and all was well. Then I switched from Aspen bedding to newspaper, he refused to eat that week so I went back to Aspen bedding, he refused again. Then I move to a new house and he has refused every week for the last 43 days. I don't know if I should start worrying yet? He is noticeably skinnier, not anemic, but still skinny. His temps are great 85 warm side 71-74 cool side, plenty of aspen to burrow in. He is relatively active moving around at night.

    I haven't handled him during the last 43 days except to clean the enclosure. I feel like I am providing him with the least stress possible. but he will not eat, it's not like he's an adult who is fasting because it's winter. He is a 8 month old and it's summer. Help, again.
