why is he not eating

[2.3casper]

hi plz help me my snake is not eating he has never said no to food he had something 5 days ago i left it in there with him and he has not taken it why is something up:?:?:?:?:?

How old is he? Is he due a shed? Usually feeds are offered every one to two weeks, how often are you feeding him?

5 days is nothing to worry about....
i would make sure the temperature is right....
and maybe he is just about to shed, or wasn't hungry
just leave him for another week and then try and feed him again...
hope this helps

Without more info it could really be a number of things , as said could be coming up to a shed . how long have you had the snake for, how old is the snake . how often do you handle it ? . I agree 5 days is nothing even for a hatchling , as said give it a week and try again .

Is this your BHP??? If it is then you only got him a couple of weeks ago and therefore may be a little stressed...
What are you keeping him in??
Have you been handling him....

A couple of weeks is more than enough time to settle in, if you're suggesting that to be a problem.

Could just be off food as some snakes prefer not to eat through out winter.

Have you left something in there with him for 5 days???

Theres no way i would leave it in there for 5 days,i left it in there for like a 2 hours then threw it out. I wouldn't eat something thats 5 days old nor would i feed my snake something that old either. My mates had a look at him and seems like might be going into hibernation but i'll try feeding him again in a few days. Thanks for everyone help

Leave it a week at least... get him good and hungry... if he refuses then you know its not a timing issue, hes just not going to be eating for a while.
