Hello. well Boris hasnt eaten for 3 weeks now. That's not all though. When I came in from work at 1am he was in his water bowl. Got up this morning & he is still there. He doesnt have mites and I cant see any sign of a shed. (do Pastels eyes go blue?) Any advice?

Phew thanks for that. Do Pastels eyes go blue? It's really weird seeing his eyes move to look at things when Im used to Sas' blank look lol.

He has a blue bulb on a Habistat and I have digital thermometers. Sas' set up is exactly the same.

Can't they see blue light somewhat,I thought it was red light that snakes couldn't see,at the other end of the spectrum to blue.Is it the moonlight heatlamp you're using?

They have a 100wt heat lamp. Been back to the reptile shop. They said he is fine. They also said he spent quite a lot of time in his water bowl when they had him! They said if he hasnt eaten in 3/4 weeks then they will try him on a gerbil or a hamster. At least they put my mind at rest. He is so different from Sas.

Yay! Boris has finally munched his rat! I dangled it in front of his house and he struck from nowhere! Frightened the s**t out of me! Now Sas has left his! Oh well!
