solomon ground boa not eating mice HELP!
Hello everyone
I purchased one of this beautiful snakes from a breeder about 3 weeks ago. He is 16-17inches long already and have been feeding on pre-killed mice. However, since I brought home this snake, he wouldn't eat anything but lizards that I have shot with my bb gun. I also checked the temperature and humidity levels of his cage and so far they were all within the right range. I also isolated him and didn't even bothered him to minimize stress and let him adjust to his new home. For the feeding part, I tried all sorts of techniqes to entice him to eat rodents but so far nothing has worked out. I tried feeding him some pre-killed, f/t, brained, and even scenting the mouse with the lizard but he just wouldn't eat them. I also tried pinkies and rat pups that were also brained, f/t, pre-killed, and scented without any success. I know this type of snake sometimes wouldn't eat for months but this is not the case since he would always eat lizards that I put in his cage.
Any suggestions guys? Im really desperate!!! It is really weird for a snake that is used to eating mouse to switch back to lizards.
