    BP not eating?

    My Pastel has not eaten in over a month and i am starting to get concerned. He looks fine and is acting normal but he also has not shed in about 2 or 3 months, i really dont remember the last time he shed. It was a busy time we had moved in september but he did shed shortly after we moved. I do have a vet appointment tomorrow morning.

    He eats 3 adult mice (f/t) every 2 weeks and last time he ate he only took 1.
    His temps are 88 to 90 on the warm side and 80 to 85 on cool side. I know they go off feed but i have never had it happen.

    He is probably stressed out from the move still. It is different for every snake how they react to that kind of situation. Just give him some more time to adjust.

    And good jumpin' on the ball and taking him to the vet. You're an awesome snake parent

    Hope all goes well, keep us posted!

    We moved in september and been living here for 6 months and he was eating consistently until a little over a month ago. It was cold here in houston for a while and i had a very hard time keeping them warm.

    Hmmmmm....well, it could be any number of things. Did you change the setup at all? Put any new hides in? Change what was fed? It could be that he is just fussy because he was cold.

    But like I mentioned, it's definitely good that you're taking him to the vet. Even if nothing is wrong, it still is a good precausion and will ease your mind (or let you know what is wrong).

    Good luck!!!
