My Snake Won't Eat

If the blinds are cold that should do the trick and stop you cooking him in a greenhouse. :-)

Ok all the fish died now. I am going to buy him a bigger waterbowl and some guppies.

Ok update. He is more active now, so I think he is starting to feel more comfortable with his new home. Also, I bought ten guppies. I just finished putting them in his bowl, so I'll see if he eats those.

Well, I don't realy have much experience with snakes (I'm new here, just getting information for now...) but I think you probably shouldn't leave ten guppies all day long in his waterbowl. They will poop in there and make it messy and with such a low amount of water will surelly die quite quickly if your snake don't eat them, and your garther will drink the bad water.
If I were you, I would get myself a small aquarium/ large-ish bowl to keep the guppies and only put a few at a time in his bowl. This way the water for your snake will stay cleaner longer and the fishies will be healthier, have less chance to die and be overall better snake food. It will probably also be easier to check if your garther ate his 3-4 fish than trying to count how many of them are left. you don't have to go buy an aquarium, just a big tuperware should be enought...

Guppies are magic.
Hope they drive your snake crazy (in a good way)

Good news, I took a trip to a cabin up north. I didn't find any snakes, but when I came back, some of the fish in his waterbowl were gone. One of them flopped out, dried up and died, but the other ones are gone. I'm thinking he ate them. I have looked in his wood chips, in the waterbowl and they are nowhere to be found. At least I know I found something he can tolerate eating.

Hope he ate something.

Good to hear, hope he ate something.

Ok, he only ate one fish. I saw some feces on his rock. At least I know that he is aware of his food. I put a plant in his water so the fish won't die.

Something is better to nothing. Feces is also a good sign.
