AWOL boa

[mark129er]

My 3 month old female has been gone a week. The reason for the post is that she hasn't eaten for about 11 or 12 days now. Should i be worried about her health from lack of food? I am also at my wit's end at catching her. Any suggestions would help. As of now I have a heat pad with a hide on top of it in the area she most likely is in. I also have a hopper mouse half in a cardboard tube near, but not on the heat source. Anything else I should try??? Mark

11 or 12 days is no big deal man, i have one boa i only feed every 10 days.

sometimes snakes fast for months on end.

Have you called the experienced herpers in your city I told you about yet? They can help.

As HetForHuman mentioned, thats not a long time for a snake to go without food. Have you tried putting wall traps as I suggested in a previous reply?

Linds, I would be interested in reading that reply, where would I find it. Not sure what you mean by wall traps thanks in advance..Frankie

If it might help, there is an article on it at my site in http://www.moreliaspilota.com

and no, a couple weeks is not too long to go without food, but you still might want to leave a rat out.
