: Been about that long since my snakes ate too.
: Two rats, one of each gender, and a bullsnake.
: Does he seem ill at all? Lathargic or less active than usual?
: I'm not concerned about mine at all, they do this all the time. Though I wish I could get rid of some of these darn mice. I would be interested if anyone else could suggest a reason I should be concerned. Is it unusual for ratsnakes to stop eating for extended periods of time?

He's not unusually lathargic and it is definitely warm enough...he's been drinking fine. The mouse/pincer method is how I usually feed him, but he hasn't been eating (or even nipping) at all...This is really the first snake I have owned, so forgive my paranoia. Please respond with any suggestions that anyone may have. Thanks greatly!
