Re: Young Dum Boa hasn't eaten since Nov '11

Thanks for helping. He was shipped overnight from a reputable seller on kingsnake.com. However, the shipper did not use a heatpad - I don't know if it was necessary. To answer your question, he ate once after we got him. We were told he was on live mice, so we fed him a live mouse. He ate it the first time, back in November. The following week, we tried to feed him again, this time it wasn't too easy. He wasn't really interested at first, so the mouse huddled in teh corner. When the snake finally got interested (a few minutes in), the mouse didn't make it easy - the mouse did bite him. We yanked the mouse out right away. We switched to F/T mice since that incident. Two weeks after that, he ate another mouse - a F/T mouse. But since then, he hasn't eaten...Any advice?
