I want to sincerely apologize to anyone here to whom I said any smug version of, "My snake eats just fine! I've never had a problem."

Yeah, about that.

Skull, my 15 month old normal boy has been on a hunger strike since August 12.

I know that BPs just do this from time to time but still is maddening and worrisome. He always used to zap and gulp his food with such alacrity. Now, he looks at it, tongue flicks a few times and then literally turns away.



His temps are fine 80 - 90 on the warm side, 80 - 75 on the cool side. After his first refusal, he spent a solid two weeks on the cold side then moved back over to the warm side. My husband keeps the habitat clean and changes water every 2 days or so. Skull is drinking water but he's just not interested in food. His last weight on August 31 was 802 grams. We're offering prey about every 10 days.

Blast and damnation! I hope he eats soon!
