Re: Not eating
3 weeks isn't a long time. What was your snake feeding on before this?

Re: Not eating
As Steve says, three weeks is not a long time.

Re: Not eating
Yeah, that's not long enough to really worry. Especially if he isn't dropping weight. Maybe don't leave the food in there for too long though. Sometimes they get used to it, but if it's removed for a while, they'll get more excited when you feed them.

Re: Not eating
About 60 you say? That would be why.
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

Re: Not eating
Without looking back in your post could you remind us what species this is?
