    This sand boa will not eat

    Yeah, I know I had another thread like this not long ago. Well, THAT sand boa ate, she's back to normal again (albeit she had a little adventure outside her cage..)

    My problem is my roughscale. I've had her for several months, and she has not eaten yet. She is not appearing to lose any weight, and I see nothing outwardly wrong with her. I've tried f/t mice/rats and live mice/rats. I've left her overnight in a paper bag with f/t.. I've left young mice/rats live overnight (nothing that isn't weaned).

    I have her in a 2' x 1' rubbermaid. She's around 20"+ long. Any ideas?

    I wouldn't worry about it. I've had snakes go four weeks without eating. Just keep trying once a week.

    Re: This sand boa will not eat

    This was an old post..

    Anway, I've had her since last winter, and she has eaten for me twice. Two weeks in a row about a month ago, and now she isn't eating again. That was about 5 months without eating.
