    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have a adult male burm that refuses to eat. He shows no signs of sickness(I have had him examined by a vet) and acts perfectly normal but the last 3weeks he has refused everything I have put in front of him. Any suggestions?
 
Guess he feels he is big enough to decide when and if he wants to eat :) all jokes aside that would be frustrating. May just need time
 
I have had him since he was the size of a candycane(3 years) and I know you are right that its not a long time but he has never refused a meal. the ambient temp of my snake room is 84 degrees, basking @ 95
 
I wouldn't panic yet. A snake this size can go months without feeding, for no apparent reason. Just keep offering him food at regular intervals, and be patient. If he doesn't show any other symptoms, and doesn't start to lose weight, you've probably very little to worry about.
 
When I kept burms, I thought they were fairly sensitive to temperature changes; so if one didn't eat, that was the first thing I looked at. The temps you stated were, of course, fine - as long as you've double checked them...I've had heat go out on a single cage, and not caught it immediately because it wasn't the one I happened to be monitoring. I've also had a cage be hotter than I thought because of the heater on the cage above it. (why THAT cage was the hot one, I don't know :shrug01: ).

Given the season, it's also worth considering outside influences - - any girls around that might be diverting his attention?
 
yeah Im starting to think youre right. changing the subject a bit, I see you post elsewhere(starts with a K and ends with .com) lol. It seems to be getting really negative over there. cant we all just get along? look forward to posting here!
