Not eating for the first time, in two years???

[chrispaine]

My BCI is not eating for the first time in about two years, its been almost three weeks since the last meal.. the only think i can think of is because of the fact that i took her to the vet about a day ago and he had to open her mouth and she didnt seem to like it, and maybe also cause of the fact that she's got the milky eyes and is going to shed soon, are thos good enough reasons, i think thats why but i wanted to see what anyone else thinks... thanks.

those are plenty good reasons. the eyes especially. think about it how often do you eat things that you havent seen yet? let her shed make sure shes warm and then try again. maybe even a smaller food item then normal. after some snakes dont eat for a few weeks they can be shy to eat larger food items right away

yeah, well this is the first time, before all she had to do is come close to it and it was over from there, i can put it right in front of her face and she wants nothing to do with it, werid.. and its been like 3 weeks since last meal.. i dont know, i dought its anything more then stress tho.. thanks!

I wouldn't be to worried. Every one of my snakes refuses to eat during the shed process. As said, just wait out the shed and keep her warm. She should eat in no time after her shed.

Burms are the only snakes I have seen eat when going into shed. Havent owned any other big eaters like Retics, a Burm could care less if its going into shed. It smells food!
