my snake hasn't eaten over a month...won't go near any rodent..mouse, pinky, etc....i don't know what to do....is there an alternative???

My snake has been eating regularly up until the last 3 weeks. I placed a f/t mouse inside his tank and he won't even touch it. I repeated this 3 times and nothing. He occasionally wheezes. What's wrong? Do I have to take him to a vet? Should I downsize his food? HELP!

My snake regurgitated 3 weeks ago. We waited one week and then he ate the f/t mouse. The next week he couldn't kill a live mouse, and he wouldn't eat the f/t mouse. We starved him for that week, and now he is not eating the f/t mouse. Should we downsize? What should we do?

I will be moving from California to Oregon, an 18 hour drive, so it's basically a 2-3 day trip. How would we go about taking our snake? Leave him in his tank and put it in the backseat? Put him in a bigger or smaller container? Water? UTH? Tips please.

Can snakes go through blue period and not shed afterwards?

My snake eats double pinks but should now eat small fuzzies according to the Munson chart. However, whenever I try to feed him a fuzzy, he does not seem interested at all. Is there some way I can help him transition better?

I just wanted to know how other owners maintain the cleanliness of their viv(s). Paper towels? Wipes? Rinse out? And how frequently?

So my snake has three different colors of poop, so far: 1. Black 2. White 3. A thousand island dressing color I was wondering what each color meant. I have guesses... 1. After he eats 2. Usually appears next to the black one after he eats 3. When he gets scared (this is the one that gets on...

I love it when they yawn and relocate their jaws. My snakes does every once in a while, but I never have a camera with me to capture the picture. Did anyone else have the opportunity to take a picture of their snake while yawning? Please share!

I have a water bowl which is filled about 1.5 inches deep. My snake occasionally sticks his whole head under the water. Is that okay? And he is about 20 in long. Is there a chance he might drown?

I'm currently feeding my snake his first fuzzy, but he can't seem to find the head. He keeps gnawing on its leg and butt. What should I do?
