    Carpet Not Eating? No Worries!

    A lot of folks get uptight and worried about a snake that doesn't eat.

    Just remember, millions and millions of years and changes and adaptations have "hard wired" snakes to be able to survive and thrive.

    I won't go into a long rant about food refusal.

    Jewel has not eaten since December, 10 2019.

    Today she had an XL rat. Boom.




    She continues to grow. She decides when she is ready to eat and I follow her lead. If there are no glaring issues, a snake refusing to eat for several months should not cause much concern.



    She may be fired up for summer, but I will not feed her until she has completely eliminated all signs of this meal.



    She's been a strange eater since day one. That said she's 7 feet plus.

    No worries, they eat when they are ready!
