    yep, I'm a card holding member as well. My normal female, Andromeda is a hit and miss eater since sept/oct. my het pied female around the same time, except she is snubbing everything, rats, mice, live or f/t. My male pinnie is being fussy as well, but will occassionally eat a live mouse. My first bp Goliath, didn't eat when I first had him for about 6 months, then I switched him to a rack and wham he started eating, now again however, he is eating sporadically. At this point, I'm no longer worried, just wondering and waiting for them to start eating again. :D

    I'm in and wearing the t-shirt. Delilah hasn't eaten since 12-23. I know they say if they aren't losing weight, it's all good. She's lost about 70 grams, she's now right around 1100. Worry or not? I'm making some changes tomorrow, but not sure that is the problem, all her numbers are right in line with what we want.

    The weirdest thing is, this new albino we got last Tuesday who the previous owner said hasn't eaten for a month, ate an ASF with a quickness last Friday. She has never been on anything except adult mice. Whereas the pastel and hognose with near perfect settings still hasn't eaten - going on 4 feedings. So, yeah, I don't know. It's getting difficult to determine cause for fasting. The last time the pastel fasted, we had major humidity issues. But this time, everything has been spot on except that she is in a 55 gallon. So, we got a 20 gallon for her today and I'm moving her in there tomorrow when everything stabilizes. Hope that would get her eating again. The hognose is probably just on brumation. He's been hiding in his cave all day and all night. It's been cold here in Florida!

    I picked up a live Natal mouse at the reptile expo for Prometheus today and he ate! :banana:
    I'm very excited
    I hope I can get him eating again on a regular basis

    My ball didn't eat for nearly a month he's only 4 months. His fast is over I'm hoping because in the last little while he has ate 2 pinky rats and a fuzzy. I think putting him in a plastic box w/ heat mat insted of a tank w/ infared lamp. My baby corn regurgatated it's last meal so I have to fast her for 10 days does that count?the UTH crapped out without me knowing for a day so I think that might have been the issue also over feeding her I fed her every 5 days so I'm going to push her on a 7 day even though she's just a bitty thing.

    my male and female adult BP's have been fasting for at least a month and a half now, but it's worth it since my female's in the middle of an ovy right now =). I'll be leaving my male alone now and will start offering smaller prey than usual to see if he will start back to feeding again. I just gave up on my yearling spider female and started feeding her mice. That's what she likes and will consistently eat, so she gets 3 jumbo's a week.

    Okay, I WILL ATTEST to the fact that the proper enclosure is a BIG contributor to getting out of the Non-Feeding-Snake club!

    First of all, I mentioned that we just got that albino who the previous owner said has not eaten for a month, put her in a 10 gallon enclosure built according to the Sticky and 3 days later ate an ASF.

    Second, I moved my pastel who hasn't eaten in 4 weeks from her 55-gallon enclosure to a 20-gallon one also built according to the Sticky last Sunday. Today, she ate not just one, but TWO ASFs! She's never done that before! I mean, one is her limit. But, this time, when she ate, she inhaled that ASF in a quickness and was still sniffing out the bottom of the cage that we decided to drop another one and see if she'll take it... not even 5 seconds later, struck and coiled. HURRRAAAYYY!!!

    I'm still a member of the club, though, because I still have that hognose that hasn't eaten.
