Feeding issues

I jus recently move and I went to feed my snakes three of my regular redtails ate but my albino wouldn't eat I was wondering if this might jus be stress from the move Which was about a week ago he is only about 4 months old and he has not ate in two weeks I'm jus concerned about it the temps and humidity in his cage are perfect any help would be great

Re: Feeding issues

Months....1 feeding isn't going to be a problem at all. Probably different change in environment, smells, vibrations, etc, from the move. Just make sure the temps are good as they were before, the water is clean and let the guy get used to everything again. I had a boa that went 3 months before he finally came around and ate...1 feeding is nothing to worry about.

Re: Feeding issues

they can go a while without eating. when i switched all my 09 boas from mice to rats, my hypo motley wanted nothing to do with it. she went a month n a half with me trying on a weekly basis without eating. one day i guess she was hungry enough that she took it and hasnt had a problem since.
just make sure the husbandry is right and that there's clean water available. keep trying every week and it should take it eventually.
id only worry if it started losing a significant amount of weight.
