New Red Tail Boa

[DavidG]

I bought a new Red tailed boa last Monday, when i bought her the workers at the pet store they said she never missed a meal and she looks very well fed, but ive tried to feed her a few times and she is not interested at all in the mice. i think it might be stress but im not sure i need some advice because im worried and i hate when my animals don't eat

Thats totally normal. Give her a week or 2 to settle in and as long as her conditions are right she will be back to eating like a champ!

If she's big enough to take weaned rats, I'd get her on rats asap. You don't want a 6'+ boa still eating mice. Otherwise, pics when you can!

Give her a week. Aslong as you have the proper set-up, she will eat once she is settled down and comfortable in her surroundings.

What is the size of the snake, and setup of the enclosure? temperatures? hides?

Regardless, I agree it could take a couple weeks. I wouldn't try more than once a week.
