Help me get my BP to eat!!

No offense meant that's just how the post read id rather say it and make it clear than to have someone think that leaving live prey in with a snake overnight was ok. Sorry if I offended you.

Sometimes changing their favorite hide can cause the problem. Id also try putting the old one back in there.

Put everything back and don't do anything aside from change water for two weeks. if he poops, spot clean, he won't die from having a little poop in the cage while he adjusts. Try a live prey that is as close as you can get to what he was used to, but perhaps a little smaller. Some BPs can get picky about dark/light colored food. If he doesn't eat, try again in a week, same thing. when he is comfortable and settled, he should start eating again. They can go up to three-four months without losing too much weight as long as they were a good size before fasting, so don't stress. The more you stress, the more you will stress him out too!

Also get a digital scale and every other week take a weight. That way you'll know whether you have a breeding fast or an Ill snake. Snakes that are fasting will lose very little weight. Snakes that are ill will Lose quick dramatic weight. That will save you 1000x of worry. I got my digital scale for 10$ it's a kitchen scale. Works miracles

shoot my male went off eating back in october and he finally started eating again but it took a gerbil to get him to eat now he is striking every rat i throw in there. thats how i had to get him to start back up last year when he went off feeding 1 gerbil to get his other head to start working and he hasnt refused a meal for me and thats been 2 weeks now and last week he ate 2 small-medium rats.

Just to put this in there just in case someone doesn't know... Using a live gerbil is dangerous, and gerbils should only be fed pre killed or frozen thawed. They are much much more aggressive than rats or mice and have strong claws and sharp teeth. That should only be used in dire circumstances and really I never recommend them then. There's really no need to change food. Most of the time waiting it out and using the scale to know what's going on with the animal ie breeding mode or stress or illness. But ive never had to change food. Patience, excellent husbandry, and vigilance are the key to these guys.
