    Need some ideas

    His last meal was exactly 4 months ago on 11/30/09.
    Refused every time since. Today I replaced the cyprus mulch with aspen. I have tried everything to get this guy to eat.
    I am going to try offerring food again this weekend.
    I really hope he starts eating.

    Here is a photo of him from tonight. He looks a bit thin to me. If he refuses, should I try an assist feed?

    As usual, more details are most likely going to help. I am going to guess that you have several other bps which are all in the same conditions as this one but they are all eating up a storm? (I just assume that an albino is not generally a first snake?)
    I would also just give him more time. Would he be stressed from anything? Is that hide of his tight enough for him? Are his conditions within proper ranges? Is there a large female near by causing him to have a breeding response?
    There could be lots of reasons......or there could be no reason.......
    Pretty albino though!

    What are you trying to feed it ? If you are tying F/T try live if you are using rats try mice or vise versa. I have had some that ate rats the whole time I have had them then they go off feed for a bit I try a mouse and bam they nail it. Then you just get them swapped back to what ever you normally feed.
