Could Roe be fasting..? My baby BCI

I usually give the snake whatever it was fed before it got to me for it's first meals before switching it, feeding live might be worth a shot.

I'm so frustrated right now. Geno won't eat, May is stressed out because I had to manually remove the huge ball of substrate stuck in her mouth, so she won't eat. And Roe still hasn't moved. :tears::mad::(

Sounds like the boa is stressed. The biting is probably a defensive bite over a food bite especially if it didnt coil it. Yo need to ditch those huge hides. Give the boa nice small hides that he can get into and feel safe. Think like a snake. If you were a baby snake, where would you want to hide? A nice small dark place that nothing can get to you. Remember, you gotta work on the snakes terms, not the other way around lol.

Ok. At the show tomorrow ill get a small hide for her. Sorry about that, I was freaking out a little bit lol. Thanks. When should I feed her next and when I do should I try live..?

(Also, Geno and May ate! Roe didn't)

I personally wouldnt bother live until a very last resort. I've never met a picky boa. Mine dont even care if the food is warm or room temp. They seem to go off smell more than anything. I would probably just wait a week once you get some nice small hides for him and let him settle in. Trying to feed him when he is already stressed will just stress him out more and could put him off food even more.

Also for the hides, you want something like http://www.reptilebasics.com/medium-hide-box A nice simple, easy to clean one door preferably offset door hide. I used the medium ones for Luna my dumerils when she was about 1.5 ft long. She is now up to about 3 ft and uses the large hides. I also use the large ones for all my juvenile boas and use the jumbo ones for my retic and adult boas. Just take a look at your boa curled up and try and find a hide that would fit him pretty good.
