Hi,
I have an Eastern Small Blotched python that is not eating. It has just shed less than a week ago and previous to the sheding had not eaten for about 6 weeks. It is about 1 and a half years old and apprx a metre long. When it was eating it was having a fuzzie rat once a week. Have had this problem with him in the past when trying to feed it mice but found out it would only eat rats or mice scented with skinks. It is only since it is refusing rats now that i am worried and i havent been able to find any skinks to scent a mouse. On one of the online herp shops they had a product which was supposed to stimulate snakes feeding by smelling like lizard, thought it was reptilemart but checked and it was not there. Just wondering if anybody knows where I could get it and if anybody has had any success with it?
thanx
