Re: My Boa Won't Eat. Help!
IMO, your low temp is a little high and the humidity could stand to be lower but I don't think either is the problem. My first suspicion for a male not eating is brumation, a 4-41/2' boa is sexually mature, therefore will naturaly fast in the cooler breeding months. The other could be a long lingering shed cycle, they know when a sheds coming before we can always tell. Could be a plateau in his growth stage that might cause that just compounded by the fasting. With that much humidity I don't think the shed is it. I'm guessing brumation. I'm just throwing possibilities out. I had a columbian at the low end of sexual maturity that fasted for at least 3 months, ate 1 small rat, then fasted for another month. I don't think it's anything serious, I'd go with the smaller rat and when dancing it move it side to side and away and close to him without actually touching him with it.
