    Nothing since.

    Totally no interest at all.

    He has come of out of his hide, sniffing around while I was feeding the other snakes but as soon as I offer him a mouse, he balls back up in his hide with his face at the back.

    I've tried leaving F/T overnight, sitting where he can't see me while a live mouse ate food in his house and nothing happens.
    I think it's FAR too early to even consider assist feeding...of course I haven't seen the snake, but 36 days is more of a break than a hunger strike, IMO. My het pied male went off feed last year at 375 grams and didn't eat for 4+ months(not even nearly the longest I've gone through) and he was fine.

    I'm starting to suspect this is why he was for sale in the first place.
    What do you suspect is the reason? That he won't eat mice?? Did you ask before you bought?
