    Re: george and checkers not eating

    I'm curious to see the answers you get to this... I have a few babies who have decided not to eat as well.
    Did you brumate them at the same temps as the adults?

    i have no place to get worms unfortunately the ground is still frozen despite the unseasonable 40 degree weather today
    and there are no bait shops to get them because nobody ice fishes out here not that they could with the messed up high and low temps we have been having

    Every year I have snakes that don't want to eat when they come out.I would'nt worry about it.I took my albino and my albino flame hets out a week ago.Only the one male has eaten so far.They have been breeding the whole time.Your snakes will eat eventually.
