Is my boa sick?

Question

My boa has not been eating at all for the past 3 weeks!Also before he started not eating when I fed him 4 days later he left me a present in his cage.But it was RUNNY!What is the matter with him?

Answer 1

if he is an older snake dont worry too much about it not eating...snakes go on hunger stirkes all the time.  i had a ball python that didnt eat for almost a year...i have another one that just got off of a 6 month hunger stirke.  i had a blood python that went on a hunger strike for 5 or 6 months.  my adult kingsnake went on a hunger strike for about 4 months.  snakes just do that.  unless your snake is losing muscle mass i wouldnt worry about it too much.  if your snake goes for over 6 months you might consider taking it to the vet.  dont offer it food too often you will stress it out...just offer it food as normal...every 10 days or so.  if your boa is used to being handles a lot go ahead and handle him normally.  i also wouldnt worry too much about the poo either.  when snakes poo they make tinkles at the same time...maybe this time there was just more tinkle than poo.

good luck!
