    Haven't tried live yet. I've yet to have him roaming around when I fed, so I'm going to wait until I see him up when I feed.

    I'm trying to avoid live at all costs. If he goes another 2 weeks I may resort to that.

    Try a mouse, a hopper or weanling f/t. If I have a picky snake with rats I'll go to mice to get them going. Honestly I feed my boas mice until they get to be one year old then switch them to appropriate sized rats. I've read that it could be healthier to the snake than feeding rats off the bat but unfortunately I can't quote where I've read that. I've had luck with it though, so it's just preference.

    Maybe you can try offering when he's hidden in a hide: wiggle it around at the entrance? Or if you want to see him searching for food then give him 2 weeks before offering. Sometimes offering too often can stress out the snake. A non feeding boa isn't that surprising: my little argie male refused his first meal for me so it's not totally uncommon, especially if they're young and/or still getting used to their new home. Just my .02

    When he's in a hide he seems to not care about food. He roams quite a bit at night which is expected.

    If refuses again ill go grab a mouse and see what happens. Thanks!
