Here's the deal, Lyle hasn't eaten since October 10, at which time he ate a medium sized fuzzy. Not too long after that, the thermometer measuring the warm side of his tank stopped working. I got a new one and the temps were, and have been, just fine (around 82). I have tried everything I can think of. F/t, braining, live (which acutally just scared the hell out of him), etc.

Does anyone have ANY suggestions? Please help. How long can a young snake go without food? He's about 9 months old and around 2 feet long. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry, I just wanted to clarify: I'm not exactly freaking out, but the reason I am so concerned with the fact he hasn't eaten is becuase he's so young. I'm concerned mainly abouth proper growth and development. I hope people still look at the thread even if the title makes it seem as though i'm overreacting a bit :uhoh:
