Any ideas why snake won't eat?

Well, always offer the snakes that you have more confidence in eating and accepting the meal last. I offer my picky ones first, if they dont eat I'll just use the same mouse and offer the other guys. Does take time since I give them 15minutes alone with the mouse. I don't waste many.

do you have 2 hides, do you have a warm side and a cold side? What are the temperatures on each side and what is humidity level? I just went through a snake that was on hunger strike for about 6 months, and when I changed out her bedding to a blend of "forest floor" and reptile moss soaked in water, she ate almost immediately and has continued to eat weekly since.

I'll agree with the other responses, check your husbandry. I've had my original BP since the beginning of November and she has never missed a meal. In addition, I have a new pickup that I've had for about a month now and he was on a 7 month feeding strike with his previous owner and I managed to get him to eat in 3 weeks.

Mine also like to strike from inside their hides. FYI

Most of mine do too, I have to dangle the rat in the doorway, it's funny how they think they're being stealthy, but you can see the nose slowly start to poke out before they strike lol.

Lol good laugh! It's so cute when their little noses poke out.
