well its been 3 weeks and he has still not eaten. he is not losing any weight or getting lethargic or anything. he pooped a couple of days ago so i know he has eaten. i got the poop and him to the vet and he is a ok. just not hungry i guess. i am not to worried though cause he is still very active, i think i might try a live fuzzy next and go that route and see if that helps any. if not oh well i got milksnake that has never seen a pinky he didnt liek ha ha. well any other advice would be grealty appreciated.

First is it a baby or older? Has it eaten for you before? And is it possible it's going blue?

He may have a preference too...If you are trying rats....try mice...or the other way around.

the husbandry is ideal, the temps on the hot side are 82-84 degrees during the day and 75-77 degrees at night. he ahs plenty ofhides, 4 to be exact, a large water bowl. and i have tried mice and rats. pinks and fuzzies. like i said he isnt losding weight or getting lethargic, i think i am going to try to put alive fuzzie in with him and see how that goes. well any ideas.

Hmmm, you're right, the husbandry sounds pretty good.
If he isn't losing weight, why not hold off on offering live prey?

that is going to be my last resort. i am going to try leaving it with him overnight and see how he does. i think he might be a shy eater like my corn used to be
