Talking Hello

Hello I am new to this, I do have a couple questions. I just recently rescued a baby sand boa, I have been told that he is not eating. I'm generally not too concerned at this point, as the last day he ate was November 21st 2015. They were trying to force feed. My question is when it comes time to feed him again, is there any tricks that I might try. My other sand boa is very very very picky, everything has to be prefect or he does not want to eat.

Re: Hello

Be aware that he may be brumating (hybernating) and may not eat again till spring.
