Not eating ??

[Craiga 01453]

Hello thanks for getting back ! I handle the snake about 3 times a week , and he’s a year and a half old exactly , I’m offering it medium rats, but the smallest ones I can find in that size , the same circumference of the snakes belly, so not over feeding it or anything ,it’s ewten that size 3 other times before it went off feeding, and I heated it by putting it in a bag and putting it in warm water till it’s warm and defrosted . And the enclosure size is a 40 gallon tank. Not sure the exact weight..?

Ok. You'll want to hold off on handling til he gets eating consistently.

Medium rats are also too large. Most males never need anything larger than a small rat, definitely not at a year and a half old.
Larger prey items often lead to refusals and food strikes.

I have two adult males around 1,400 grams each. They eat a small rat every 14 days or so. They pretty much never refuse a meal. I've gotten to the point that I basically let them "tell" me they're ready to eat by reading their body language.

Also, it's possible the prey isn't getting warm enough. Are you using a temp gun to check the prey? It might be worth it til you get the hang of feeding. You want the prey to be wround 100°.
