It is cooling down...they go off their food...three weeks is NO BIG DEAL for a snake.
He is not a little hatchy...hence eating half grown rats.....stop worrying..he will eat when he wants and there is no need to scent his food if he has had no problem feeding before!!!

| | Subscriber | Join Date: Jan-07 Location: my own little world Gender: | | | | If your diamond is around average size for it's age three weeks is nothing mate. Just to give you an idea, i have a two month old coastal that has just had her first feed in five weeks and she could have gone a lot longer.

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Jun-06 Location: melb | | | | Thats a nice looking dp.I wouldnt be to concerned yet .I switch mine off at this time and dont start to feed them till sept.Your DP looks in good health .What you want to look at is the enviroment that you are keeping it in such as high traffic areas,loud noise such as music,even walking up and down on floor boards where the foundations aernt as good as they use to be can spook some snakes. | |
