If that's the case, that is incredibly unfortunate. They're amazing little snakes, and I really do love watching mine.

I personally have not had any bad feeders here, so I can't offer any advice about how to get this little guy started. I do know they have a preference for anoles as babies, as their diet in the wild is generally geared towards lizards.

While I did get pretty lucky in this aspect, when I was researching this species I was also looking into potentially raising mourning geckos as a feeder on the chance that I could not acquire a SI ground boa that was on rodents. It may be worth looking into mourning geckos or anoles as a source to hopefully potentially tempt this little guy into eating.

Hopefully someone with more experience on getting stubborn snakes started on food can chime in.
