Re: Good and bad news..

We all have snakes that at some point wont eat for some reason or another - as long as they are drinking and not looking unhealthy then 99% of the time it is fine. My 6 month old BP went 12 weeks over the winter without eating, adult corn went 6 weeks and my gtp went 4 weeks all the others plowed through their food with no hesitation at all. Over time you will "know" your snake and be more calm in deciding whether something needs doing or whether its just a case of letting the snake chill for a while and it will start eating again.

The most regular piece of advice is that whilst a snake is not eating you do not disturb it except for water changes and poop cleaning. That is probably the hardeest bit!
