Hi, Becky,

I have had problems twice, with feeding, so posibly not qualified to answer but
on those
occasions I have placed Oz (my corn snake) in a seperate tank thats nice and
warm. Taken
a mouse or rat and after its defrosted warmed it gently under his viv heater.
Once its warm
I placed it on top of the feeding tank and left it about 30 minutes. Normaly the
smell of
the warm mouse just out of reach does the trick. I then place it in the feeding
tank and
cover it up so its in the dark and leave him with it in the quiet for a couple
of hours. I
always feed now in the evening as he seems more active then.

If you normaly feed mice, try a rat or gerbil for a change, or something a
little smaller then
usual. At this point my wife has objected to the gerbil advice. She loves Oz
dearly but is
still not ok about his eating habits!

Richard,

feeder. Now though he hasn't eaten for 6 weeks. I've tried feeding him in and
out of his
normal cage, at different times of day, and i've even tried cutting into the
mouse to entice
him but no luck.
