whoah it really does look like a rainbow! a pretty, long, reptile rainbow. I don't know if this would help, but I'm a dog owner, and usually it takes them a few to get settled. Maybe it's the same with snakes? Just keep the food supply running. [Hmm maybe dogs and snakes are different. LOL I didn't mean.. you know, running all around your house and all but yeah.] It's even more true of snakes than of dogs. Most dogs will eat the first day in a new place, but most snakes take a few days, at least, to get their bearings and settle down. MOST, not all. This little guy has proved to be a bit of a challenge since I found him back in May. He eats in spurts; he will have a ravenous appetite for a few weeks, then he won't touch anything I offer him for several more. For ever ounce he gains while he's on an eating binge, he loses two during his fasts. He is VERY picky, and will only eat white mice. They can't be too large or too small. He is absolutely terrified of baby rats! That's a problem, because adult Rainbow Boas would have to eat an awful lot of mice to get a decent meal, and most eat adult rats. pitbulllady Oh my, very picky indeed. And.. do white rats, er.. taste different? Or can snakes see colors?
