: : my baby was born on July 27 and still has not eaten. I have tried everything pinkies,goldfish,frogs and every combination. IT has shed 4 times and poops about every 3 weeks, it still has plenty of energy. Should i be worrying or just keep waiting?? : 4 months is a long time to have eaten nothing. You may already have waited too long, : but you should try something. The least invasive approach is to "assist feed." You have to : gently hold the snake and place a small pinky into its mouth. At first it will try to spit : it out. But hang in there and be patient. If you are lucky, after awhile the natural : feeding impulse will kick in and your snake will eat the food item in its mouth. Then : gently replace the snake into its cage. Wait about two days, then try to assist feed it again. : After a few feedings you can assist feed it daily until it begins feeding on its own. : Then carefully analyse the cage system. Baby Indigos prefer an environment where they can : bury into a moist medium. They need a cool background temperature in the 70's and a hot spot of : about 82 degrees. I use pine shavings and pour water into the cooler portion when they begin : to dry out. : I hope this proves helpful to you. : Sincerely, : robert seib
