    I guess if they don't eat soon try for another month.
    Also, you could try live fish.

    Re: george and checkers not eating

    They'll just be getting used to being warm again ... if they're males they might go off food after brumation because they're looking for a mate too. Have they shown any signs of approaching a shedding cycle?

    Re: george and checkers not eating

    well like i said so far there is no sign of a shed cycle the scale plates on their heads dont have any gaps between them so i dont think this is the case

    but time will tell

    It can take a while for snakes to settle back into their regular rhythm after brumation. If they're not showing signs of weight loss I wouldn't worry just yet.

    I wouldn't be worried in the least my dear. Sometimes it does take them a while!
