Is this for real? :0 I actually legitimately can't tell whether you might be joking or not LOL, but I will try it if it works!!Originally Posted by Stewart_Reptiles
Yes, the equipment is still working unfortunately! LOL :SHi,
Since I know you know what your doing I assume you have already triple checked temps to rule out equipment failure.
Which alternative prey items have you tried? Mine go nuts for chicks but refuse ASF's and sometimes a mouse will tempt fussy beggars.
Where is the snake spending most of the time in the enclosure ( little worried about the weight loss ) as mine stay on the cool end if they aren't eating which obviously slows their metabolism and minimises weight loss.
Does anything else seem off behaviour or activity level wise?

I've just tried between f/t rats, mice, and chicks so far. I was pondering whether to try to feed live, but I still haven't with the paranoia that he will then get stuck on live. But actually it might be worth trying at this point...
He spends basically all of his time on the warm end which I guess is not helping with his maintaining weight! He's considerably skinny now for an adult...
Behavior/activity wise, he's definitely been much much less active and seems quite lethargic/droopy when I try to handle him. He still moves a bit but seems limp compared to in the past. I also used to see him out and about like looking for food at night for a few minutes a week or so, but I basically never see him out of his hide at all now/doesn't move much from his spot. I've been handling him at a bare minimum ever since he started refusing.
edit: He also still drinks water, so that's at least good and probably isn't due to dehydration
