    BP not eating? :(

    My snake recently shed hes denied eating 2 months in a row, when rat is put in cage BP sniffs out Rat and turns its head very uninterested. I dont understand I've had this snake for like 7 years and each time it hears me put a rat in there, it immediately eats it. But now I dont understand its been reluctant to eat it? I'm getting very frustrated, any help would be very much appreciated. I hope my BP is not sick or anything

    Re: BP not eating? :(

    More info is needed the help

    What are you feeding and what time of day
    Enclosure and Husbandry
    What are your temps / humidity
    what has changed since the hunger strike started

    If all else fails try a live mouse hopper seems to work great. Something about the way mouse hoppers move seems to drive them into a feedign frenzie
