That being said i'm not surprised you have had issues.. What I have the biggest problem with in that statement is that you continue to let a younger snake go hungry and noticeably lose weight because YOU don't want to feed it live.. That's not fair at all to the animal.. What's even slightly more insulting is that we attempted to help you and you have apparently not taken any of our advice because it isn't what you wanted to hear.. I feel bad for the animal in all honesty..
    Because I don't want an animal to be killed for no reason when I feel like something else is causing him to stop eating. No, he wasn't fed live before I got him. If I have to feed live then I will but I want to know the reason why he isn't eating what I offer now before I start offering live.

    Do you feel like what you are feeding him now is an appropriate size? I feel like you might have you head in the sand with that one a little bit. There has been 3-4 people who have told you that what you are trying to feed him is too small and you are still saying "I need to figure out why he is doing this..."

    Ok, you haven't handled him... Fine... Ok you try every 10 days... That's all fine and well... It doesn't correct the fact that what you are attempting to feed him isn't working and is too small... In my opinion I would have already went to a live mouse because that snake is young... It's not a 1200 gram, 3 year old female who can handle longer fasts..
