As for your BCI and dumerils, not sure why yours quit refused food(actually i do, you overfeed) but my dumerils and all my BCIs never refuse a meal. Everyone actually ate last night. And met me tell you, it was an exciting night as i almost got tagged by Caesar as he came flying out for his guinea pig and the baby boas shot out like bullets.

And basically your boa and dumerils are probably trying to save their own lives as they know you are trying to kill them with too much food.

And now you have a dumerils AND a BP? You said in your post earlier, when you got your boa, you had no knowledge of snake care and that was 18 months ago assuming you got the boa when it was born which you said you did. So in that 18 months of research, you didnt see any correlation between dumerils care sheets and BCI care sheets both stating you shouldnt feed either snake lots of food? And you didnt find a common denominator among all the research that boas and dumerils dont need to be stuffed like Thanksgiving turkeys?

I think i also read somewhere you said you had a GTP? What is going to be the next surprise you pull out lol? With that many snakes, i am floored you still havent figured out the proper care for them....
My ATB won,t refuse a meal even if i overfed him. Such a wonderful snake. I have to be careful with his feeding as he is a great eater. He is 14 months old and eating large mice. I have learned my lesson with my BP when he stopped 8 months eating. I feed him now small rats. Regarding my Dumerils, i really don,t have to be careful with his feeding. If he is not hungry he will just refuse. I can,t overfeed him. And my BCI refused food this time, so i will give him 2 weeks pause. My GTP will eat one large mouce every 9 to 10 days. That,s more than enough for him as he does not move much.
