Re: Not eating..

Feedig every 5-7 days. I recently moved her into a new enclosure and had her a week off to let her settle. But she refused again.

Have pics of her new enclosure? What substrate do you use and does she have secure hides?

Im no pro by any means but ive never had a snake refuse a meal when i was consistant with their feeding schedule (i feed mine every monday). Also, you can take them out and put him in a smaller enclousure (i use a cardboard box) along with its food and give it about 45 min. U can try squeezing the mouse (if feeding him mice) until some blood comes out and that can better stimulate his feeding response. Also, fom what ive read that enclosure may be too big for ur little guy. He maybe a lil stressed. I would put him in a small tub or box and cover it with th mouse. As i mentioned before im no po but thats my .02c. Good luck
