Default Re: snake trouble

When my snakes wont eat I try scenting the mouse, I use rodent bedding from my hammies or better yet and this tends to work every time is tuna, just rubbing the mouse on some tinned tuna I even keep a tin in the freezer and chip a bit off for each mouse now, snakes can go weeks without eating if they are dormant enough my Argentine Rainbow Boa has done that to me before now.
Another thing you can do is try getting your snake into the sun some times a bit of the ol D3 from the sun really helps that or add a d3 bulb to your enclosure guarded of course but many find it easier to dust calcium and d3 onto mice.
Another option is to put the snake into a smaller enclosure with just the mouse over night, I really recommend youtube they have some great videos on tips to get your snake to eat.
