Re: Kayoss

If your snake is 5 years old i would not worry too much about it not eating for 2 months, they can go a year without food. Have you tried chicken chicks or quail most snakes love these and would never reject one. I always give my snakes these when they go off their food for a while and they always smash them. Im sure you will have success if try him on birds.

like percey39 said snake can go off feeding for a long time, my ball python did not eat for almost 4 months.unitl you see a lot of weight lost its going to be ok just see if he takes a rat every other week or so.

As long as the snakes seems healthy and there doesn't appear to be any other health issues i wouldn't worry for a while.
