snakes won't eat

Yikes,

Your trying to feed too often. :(

I would definately have waited longer to feed the corn to lessen the chances of another regurge.

Offering food too often can actually discourage feeding by stressing them out - your idea of waiting a week is the best one.

Hi,

If he does follow the advice on this thread by Kathy Love.

thank you for your help dr. Del- I went to that thread and followed Kathy Love's advice and so far we have had 2 meals with out regurges on my normal baby corn! I have not handled him at all ( gonna wait till 6 meals just to be on the safe side!)

My other corn ate as well with no regurge!:banana: and hes getting another meal today :D woot!

Hi,

Glad to hear they are both doing so well. :)

ok so I have been trying everything with my ball python- he is in a 15 quart tub with newspaper substrate. He has a hide and a water bowl His temps are great and he is not bothered at all ( I have been handling him as little as possible.) I have put crumpled up newspaper in his tub so that there is almost no room in it. I have seen him roaming out at night and know he does because of the tipped over water bowl i find almost every morning. yet when ever i offer him a mouse he refuses.. this is a SMALL mouse...maybe about 20 grams... hes big enough to eat much bigger and hes not looking too great. he's a little jumpy when i pick him up but otherwise he doesnt move. :( im really starting to get worried.
