NEW SAND BOA WONT EAT, HELP!
Ok someone please give me some guidance, I'm a newbie with snakes. My sand boa Frida is my first snake, born November, I received her mid-July. So I'm new with picky eaters since my lizards always eat. The breeder who gave her to me said her last feeding was July 11th. I have tried EVERYTHING to get her to eat but I've ended up wasting 10 mice because she refuses. I use frozen/thawed, same as the breeder did. She ate for the breeder every time no problem. She seems active and healthy, not about to shed.
Here is everything I've tried: -feeding at day -feeding at night -feeding IN the tank -feeding in a SEPARATE container -washing the pinkie to cleanse of manufacturer smells -dragging pinkie along snake's back -dangling in front of snake's face -leaving pinkie in with snake overnight -putting pinkie and snake in deli cup -rubbing tuna on pinkie -braining pinkie The snake just turns away and ignores the pinkie everytime...someone please help I'm so frustrated and want her to be ok! Set-up: aspen shavings over carpet, UTH 24/7, 50W bulb during the day, under aspen temps about 95 degrees, air temps averaging 80, water dish always, a hide and a plant |
