    I find that amazing it just didn't want to eat for 15 months :O

    When I have to resort to that I put the problematic snake in a snake bag and take it on a one hour ride (30 min both ways which is my Fedex run), offer food the following week and it usually works, and the animals in questions were fasting for months, husbandry changes were made and they were feeding smaller preys but still ended up fasting and not going back to food until those car ride trips.

    Thank you !!

    Sounds bizarre enough to be feasible :)
