well its just been brought to my attention, that there is one or two points i need to mention,

1, Just to enhance one of the reasons that your snake will stop feeding is because of stress, but all of the reasons i mentioned are factors that cause stress,

2, The take them for a drive method, can also cause further stress to the animal, although this is one method i have tried and tested and found to work.

3, One more method of tempting to get you snake to eat is to try pre-killed food, to use this method you have to kill the rodent and plave n viv whilst it is still twitching.

I thought I was never come to this point, but I'm genuinely getting worried about my royal

She hasn't fed for over a month now. She's never done that in 3 years, same viv, same temps, same food. Just bloody annoying

Dexter Mate, thats no time at all, just stop offering food for a few weeks and then try again, you can always try a chick or a gerbil for variety , or a small mouse just to get her started again.

I bought gerbils this afternoon but they look quite big

I also bought rat fluffs and rat weaners.

I'll keep trying everything. If she ate the gerbil, it should be a good meal for at least 10 - 14 days.
