    New snake still hasnt ate
    Ive had my mojave since the 11th and ive offered food twice and he hasnt ate. He is also the most active of my 3 ball pythons. My normal male has never turned down a meal and my spider has eaten both times i offered. Just wondering why he hasnt eaten
    All 3 snakes have the heat and humidity the same.

    Take pieces of newspapers and crumple it up and put it in the tub to take up space. It'll make the tub seem smaller and more secure. You could tape pieces of paper or just tape around the outside of the tub on three sides to black it out and make it seem more secure for the snake too. Dont use tape on the inside of the tub though.

    If that doesnt work id move her into a smaller 6qt tub and try the same newspaper/tape tricks^. :gj:
