I am having a little trouble getting my male Porthidium Ophryomega to eat.He has always been a little difficult ,but never gone this long between meals(2 months).He has not eaten since he bred to my female.He has shed and killed a couple mice but not eaten.My females are great eaters and I have never had problems with them.I have been feeding him stunned small adult mice. He has never taken f/t for me.I can't seem to find any good info on this species.Any info or suggestions would be great.
Thanks in advance

Use smaller mice than you think he'd take. Wash them and rub them thoroughly with a frog first. See how that goes.
