    a bit concerned

    my BP has not eaten for 4 weeks now. i am getting a little worried..... before i say anything more i want everyone to know that my cage set up and environment is where it needs to be. temps are where they need to be and humidity is about 40%. having said that.... i read that BP's go girl friend hunting when it starts to warm up... and so they will become very active and not be concerned with eating. is this true??? a friend of mine has a red tail and her snake is doing the same thing.

    Depending on his age and weight, four weeks is not that long. How long have you had him? Males tend to go off feed earlier in the winter/fall.
