: After bringing home our new T. Beauty snake on Sun.Nov 18, he managed to escape after two hours. I read this forum and set out my mouse tank as a trap. Sure enough we found him in the tank Fri. night. He had killed 3 of the mice. We moved him into a more secure tank(don't know how he got out the first time) an hour later he regurgitated three hoppers and has not eaten since. We have tried more hoppers,rat pups,and pinkies-all which he has killed but not eaten. It is now Dec 6 and he will not eat.We are worried what can we do?

They can go quite a while without eating but if its really bothering you, start force feeding him pinkies.
