Anyone else have a snake that refuses to eat in there tank?
I got my baby Rosy Boa a little about a week and a half ago. She refuses to eat in her tank. She is in a 10 gallon with aspen, 2 hides that are exactly alike, and a small thing of water. Her first meal I put her a small cardboard box and dropped a frozen thawed ASF pinky in there, closed up the box and put it back in her tank on top of where the UTH is, and a 30 minutes later I checked on her and it was gone. Put her back in her tank ans left her alone. I thought maybe she would eat live in her tank. Nope she ignored it, but once I put her in the box and closed it up, it was gone. I know people same that feeding them in a seperate container isn't that great and I know with my ball pythons that were more aggressive when I fed them in a seperate container. So how do I break her of this, or do I just let it be. I am feeding her ever 5 days since she is such a tiny little worm

I had one that is the same way your snake doesnt like you watching while he eats. Easy fix feed a F/T and cover the enclosure with a towel or something and walk away. Works like a charm every time

X4, just do what works. Don't try to change the snake, it won't work.

My male BP will not eat in his enclosure. Drop him in his feeding tub and it's a whole different story.
