    Re: Why won't my baby eat?

    Well I would say that the snake acting interested is a good sign. Even very young snakes that have been feeding can go a long time without eating, as python guru has said. some times overfeeding or feeding to often will drive an animal to go off feeding, and sometimes they just go off feeding even the baby ones. it is my experience that with proper security and husbandry a healthy non feeding animal will eat when they are ready. So put the snake on the back burner so to speak check in on it to make sure it isn't loosing to much weight and try to feed it in two weeks or so. If it does not go for it right away wait another two weeks. my 08 clutch had one really poor feeder that I ended up assisted feeding a few times to keep em going. What I did was stopped trying to feed every week, and left the animal alone. I just started feeding it regularly again and it is an aggressive feeder now. I think you have tried enough things to say the snake isn't hungry so all you can do is wait it out. Just my take on things I am sure other may disagree
