hey my new stimy wont feed ive had him 4 bout a month now and hes my first when i first got him he shat in his enclosure so he was prolly fed recently but since then he just wont touch anything i give him he seems 2 shy away from the mice i give him, the shop where i got it says not 2 worry as its that time of the year when they usually hibernate anyway but just wanna make sure he alright is this normal.
its completely normal.... they can last for quite a while as a baby without food with no harm done, i had that problem recently and it took her 3 months almost to feed don't want to scare you at all, just i recommend not going near it for at least a week or so then try feeding her in her hide if she has one and leave it overnight.
Its almost 100% its to do with temps.More than likely the temps are too low for it to want to eat.Its not completely normal either unless you are cooling on purpose.
Also just because a snake is in a shed cycle doesnt automatically mean they wont feed.As a matter of fact the vast majority will still feed if they are in a shed cycle.
Also it could just be this time of the year, my Childrens always stops feeding from about May till Sept. every year. He mite take 1 or 2 mice during that time but generally not that interested in food at all. I wouldnt worry too much, jus let him settle in, try offering him food every 2 weeks or so and im sure when he is hungry he will eat.
hes bout 3 yrs old and as far as i know not shedding and feeding him adult mice basicly wot the store was feeding him also his enclosure is regulated at 30 degrees so never much lower or higher
its better for snakes to have a thermo gradient (cool at one end, hot at the other). also, try piercing the head of the mouse before you feed. the smell and taste of the blood might attract it more.
don't want to scare you at all, just i recommend not going near it for at least a week or so then try feeding her in her hide if she has one and leave it overnight.
