Hello
We bought our first snake three weeks ago and it is beautiful specimen and was born on the 9th of September 2006, so only only 4 or 5 months old.
The problem is that it has not eaten anything since we brought it home, in fact we have not even seen it. We were given the soil type substrate for the tank and it immediately disappeared underneath and has hid ever since. I cant tell if it comes out at night. It is definitely alive as I have dug around for it a couple of times to check.
We have presented 3 pinkies now in the last couple of weeks and they remain untouched. I take them away a day later. The tank has good heat via a pad and bulb, I turn the bulb off at night. It is a proper reptile tank.
There is a water dish with fresh water each day.
I am a bit concerned that is not eating - would it ever come to the point that it just starved to death due to something wrong with surroundings that it does not like?
Thanks for any advice.
