I need HELP!!!

Hey guys its me again and thanks to those that have replied to me about my ball not eating every week. I have a new problem it seems that this week my guy didn't want to eat. He has never acted this way. Its going on four weeks and no eating. I know he is hungry because I see him looking around and wanted to escape when he's looking for food. What do you guys think? Do snakes have a preference when it comes to the color of their meals? I have noticed the rats that I have been getting are darker now so I was thinking that maybe he's being picky. Any ideas? PLEASE HELP ME!:(

Give him time. 4 weeks is not that bad, so unless you have changed what he WAS eating, just keep trying on his regular scheduled feeding day.

Oh and TAKE A DEEP BREATH. Its O.K. Just don't handle him unless neccesary, make sure he has lots of privacy and proper temps/husbandry, and he will more than likely come around. It happens to all of us.

just cuz your snake is moving around the tank alot doesnt mean that its hungry, it can often also be because it is uncomfortable in its surroundings and stressed out.
