    !00% agree! Contact the breeder.

    You should also find out exactly what the baby was housed in and follow the same housing routine to a T!

    As Reinz mentioned they are all individuals. They are also far more prone to stresses at a young age. Otherwise healthy boas can quickly go down hill due to stress and a change in environment. If you want to get off to a good start with this individual, you need to duplicate the environment it was in prior to having it in your care.

    Feed it as it was fed and house it as it was housed. Temps, setup, everything!

    A boa that is not feeding is a boa that is stressed.

    Your best recipe for success is to find out how the snake was cared for before you received it.
