Two of mine are just coming off fasting since October. One decided to eat just as suddenly as she decided not to and is back to her normal greedy self.
The other, who has always been a great eater, had one small rat in January, and another in March, but nothing since. He IS starting to get a few wrinkles, which tells me he's losing weight so felt it was time to do something that might pique his appetite. Last week I broke down and bought him a live small rat (he's always eaten f/t) and he immediately came out of his hide, tracked it down and nailed it.
I REALLY don't want to switch him to live full time, but am hoping this was enough to "kick start" his appetite.
When I got my first snake, I'd panic if he didn't eat every week, now that I have several b.p's and a little more experience, I'm a lot more relaxed about the whole eating thing. Mind you I don't LIKE that these two went almost 7 months without eating, but I'm not losing sleep over it either. :-)
Good luck with you noodle, I'm sure he'll eat again for you soon, try not to worry. :-)
