Wow, no wonder your annoyed. I've got two sisters and if they went anywhere near my snakes they would be dead. Luckily my oldest sister is scared of them so i don't have to worry about her  . Acording to my parents when we grow up we will all get along but I'm not so sure ;D. Hope you have luck getting the snake to eat soon. |

did it come with feeding records and what the temps and how bigs the viv you have it in? best not to assist feed yet as it causes alot of stress to the snake ultimately postpone for longer i know how stressful it can be getting a corn feeding lol but give them time and try different things you'll get it feeding did you get it from the Norwich show? if so 2 weeks is nothing and no need to be too worried try putting it in a tub with superheated pinkies and leave it in a dark warm place such as a cupboard,if no success next feed try putting the pinkies in a bog roll tube which mimics a rodents burrow(worked countless times) reptilelover.co.uk/feedinghatchlings.htm this might help too lee |

Well ive tried all of them and last night i put it in a small box with a brained pinky also heated with a hairdryer o give the impression that it was alive and it didn't work either if anything it made the snake traumitised.The little bugger bit me 4 times.

Try scenting with a rat pup, or a chick or something (try something new everytime till it eats). I am of course preseuming that your bp is on rats so scenting is an option?
