I think im gonna try a live hopper this weekend unless someone has a better idea. I'd love to hear one. On a good note my MBK, Sasha Fierce, had the leftovers for seconds. At least shes eating well.

Well darn! Medusa refused mice tonight lol

Get out, no way?! Shes been eating pretty good though, even doubles on occasion, I'm sure this was just a fluke for Medusa. She'll be back on track next week. Congrats again on the new addition brother. Im very happy for you.

I need to reiterate that it is just that time of year. Especially for males.

Thanks for the reassurance Korbin. Do I just wait him out? How long before I should be concerned? Would you advise against trying live at this time and to just keep offering f/t every 7 days? I appreciate the advice. Thanks again.

Ok, its 7 weeks and counting since Caesar last ate. I offered again tonight and he just wasnt interested. He just sniffed it and slid away. I didnt bother leaving it in his tank this time. He's only lost 1g in the past 6 weeks but hasn't shed in almost 2 months either. He seems to be drinking plenty of water if that means anything. After serious consideration I've decided to try a live feeder next week. That'll be 8 weeks. If that doesn't jump statt his appetite my only other recourse might be a trip to the vet. Just want to make sure he's well. Sasha Fierce was fierce indeed and slammed down the hopper Caesar refused. She's growing well. Best wishes everyone.

Hang in there Ziggy! Good to hear Sasha is doing well.

Dang 7 weeks? Time flys! Hope you can get him to get back on track soon

If your snake isn't losinh weight you have nothing to worry about. Your snake will not shed while fasting in most cases. No growth = no shed... again in most cases.? Your snake is gonna be just fine.
