Re: Hatchling central boa not eating
I'm surprised the breeder sold him at only 3 weeks old. How many times had he eaten before you got him? I think he's probably still acclimating. He's very young and he's already had two stressful moves in a short period of time. How often are you offering food? Your temps are a few degrees warmer than I keep my boas but they're in range. If he's behaving normally and not losing weight I'd keep offering food once every 10 days until he starts eating. I'm a firm believer that the hunger always wins in the end. I've never seen a healthy snake starve itself to death. Stay the course. If it's mice or rats, f/t or live. They all eat eventually. Keep us posted on your progress.
