    Re: MY SNAKE WONT EAT. please help!!!!?

    He ate!!!!! Holy crap am I happy!!!!! Okay to help you out, this is what I did. I divided my 20 long into an approx. 10in x 10in square. Smaller than a 10 gallon. I just put him on aspen a couple days ago. Barely giving any floor space, I gave him two hides on the right, a humid hide, a cold hide, and a water dish. He has a UTH but I had a red bulb on to heat up the air on the warm side.

    I had basically lost all hope he showed zero interest in live, frozen, in his tank, in a feeding tub, braining, tuna juice, blowdryer.... Last resort, I just decided well, I'm going to leave a small mouse in his house over night, whatever, if he's hungry maybe he'll eat it. It's a little too big for him, but you know what, I can't try anything else and I can't find live hoppers or fuzzies, or anything and nothing is working for almost 2 months.

    I stuck a small live mouse in his tank, and laid down. I look up 20 minutes later, and it's dead and he's eating it!!! He has a big lump in his tummy but he freaking ate.

    I would suggest trying something similar to my method, since it worked, and I'm sure we got snakes from the same clutch!
    Good luck!!!
