My gopher went on a fast for about 4 months. And he's no beefy snake, but a thin little guy who didn't look like he should be missing many meals! My husbandry was spot-on (checked and re-checked and re-re-checked!). There wasn't anything I could do about it except continue to offer him food from time to time.


He finally started eating again sporatically...and became a regular feeder when I switched to fresh-killed instead of frozen. Now he gets live and feeds easily most of the time.

Snakes have their own minds about food, that's for sure! And they can go amazingly long times without eating. So long as you continue to care for it and give it the opportunity to eat when it finally wants to.....you'll be doing fine!
