| Don't know if its of any help but Sid refused food earlier in the year. He didn't eat for 3 months but he was fine other than that. He just suddenly decided one weekend that he would eat again. |

its getting that time of year when a lot of snakes slow right down so its nothing too unusual. Your best bet is to offer him food smaller than he usually gets (eg. a single small mouse) and only offer every 2 weeks. Once he's hungry enough he'll take it.
Make a note of his weight and weigh him on the weeks you don't offer food just to keep an eye on it. If the weight drops drastically then a vets appointment for a check over is a good idea to make sure theres no underlying problems.
good luck, and let us know how he gets on |
