Tom, hope he comes around for you... they certainly can make life more stressful than it needs to be!

My snake took about a month to start eating after I pulled him out of brumation. He was in brumation for about 3 months too. He lost a little weight, but is eating voraciously now. (If your snake is male, perhaps it is a hormone thing. My male's behavior drastically changes after brumation.)

When my two snakes escaped in my basement during brumation, they went without food for nearly 5 months. The one had even emerged from brumation before I found him. Both snakes had thinned out a little bit, but are currently both healthy.

Good luck!!

I know they're not available in the wild yet, but what about trying some tadpoles? Of course, not knowing how large your snake is, it may be hard to find some of the appropriate size, but browsing around on some frog forums you may find someone with frogs that are breeding like crazy and willing to sell you eggs/tads. Also, some of the scientific supply websites sell bullfrog tads, but I don't know at what size they sell them. Worth a try, if they aren't expensive.

Best of luck with the little guy, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

keep trying to feed him...after bruminating it might take a while for their feeding instinct to kick in again...good luck gettn more like that
