Hog island wont eat..

[Michaeladevine1]

My 5 year old, male hog hasn't eaten in 3 months. i purchased him from a very responsible snake owner in november. he had a slight respiratory infection when i first got him, but we got that taken care of, and the humidity is good, and the size of his tank.
Please help! :sad:

has he eaten while in your care at all?

Ahh.. Okay so he's five.. Well it could just be that he's in breeding mode.. Steph's snake didn't eat for a couple months, and now he's out, and eating like a mad man.. -.-

Make Stephan give us an update!
He isn't on often anymore.

he could also be adjusting to a new area, if hes a fully grown snake (id assume so at 5 years old) he can last a while without food, if you have a gram scale keep an eye on his weight, but just keep trying to feed him once a week and he should take to it once he feels like it
