    Its winter, many snakes go off their food, relax and wait a few more weeks......they will feed when ready!

    mine hasnt eaten for about 3 months im not to concerned even though this is the first time he has done it
    i offer him some food about once a month and i figure when he is hungry he is gonna eat. i am pretty sure its
    just cos its winter and he is reaching maturity.
    wanted : better job to support the reptile habit... swear they should be classed as drugs. they are so addictive

    Yeah, my juvie Stimmy is nearly 3 weeks without... disconcerting when they first don't eat as keenly, but I'm not worried... yet.
