    Okay I know this isn't the right place for it but here is what has worked for me (even though all BP's go off feed or refuse at least once) I put the mouse in one of those disposable tupperware deals like around noon or so or early evening then let it sit at room temp until about nine pm or so or when I am ready to feed then pop it under the heat light for about eight - ten minutes (don't cook it) he starts flicking his tongue while it's warming. I tried heating hot water in ziplock bag but it never worked for me. Just a tip in case you wanted to try another thawing method. You never know what'll work when though haha.

    tried it tonight and he slammed it - this may help but man he didn't eat for at least three weeks after I got him. I was flippin out but here is something for ya - he has eaten for you before right? So you know that he will he's probably just full still. Snakes have slow metabolism or maybe he just didn't feel like expending the energy necessary to eat. I would say that as long as you've had him eat for you before he will eat again so as Wizill so wisely stated - be patient. (and buy some tums ultra :) )

    Maybe he's about to shed? Trust your gut - no need to worry at this time.

    oh I was talking to everyone :) if you could get them to eat once than more than likely they will eat again. That's what gets me through the non-eating weeks. (and again... Tums Ultra - useful for public presentations as well)
