Stubborn Snakes

[DemmBalls]

Well, as the title suggests, we have a pair of stubborn snakes, who are refusing to eat anything. we have tried F/T, we have tried live, we have tried fresh killed and we have even tried to assist feed, which the snakes refused as well.

The female, we knew was off feed when we bought them almost 4 months ago. The male however, was said to have been a ravenous feeder, as well as quite nippy, though he has never bitten or struck at us once.

We're really at a loss on what to do. We're more concerned with the health of the male, as he is the smaller of the two, sitting at 370-ish grams, while the female, a year older, is at the 1100g mark.

Any ideas from anyone here? Or anyone had similar snakes who refused to eat...well...anything.

In my opinion...to get to those sizes, they have been eating at some point. Unless they are very under weight...I would not force feed them at that size. The more stressed they are...the less likely they are to eat. I have a 1200 gram female that has not eaten in over a month. I just offer her food once a week and hope she starts back up.

How often are you offering them meals? What temps and humidity are they kept at? How big is their enclosure and do they have hides?
