    Odd behaviour and won't eat

    I've been having a horrible time getting my boa to eat, and now my ball python won't eat either.

    Both snakes are going on about 5 weeks since a meal. I picked up the boa at the expo in Toronto on Sept 15th.

    The boa stares at the rat like its a brick wall, and my ball python is more concerned with getting out of his cage than eating. I'm more worried about the balls behaviour than not eating, as I think if I feed him earlier in the day he will wake up and only concentrate on eating. But why does he always want to get out? Temps are perfect (although ambients are a little low as its getting colder, no lower than 76-77 at night and 79 during the day). PVC divided enclosure, boa is on radiant heat, and ball is on both radiant and flex watt on a herpstat 1 and 2.

    Wtf mate. Both are on ft, ball has been on it for a year.

    Edit: ball is literally trying to dig out of a solid PVC enclosure. What the hell is wrong with him!
