Keep'em In The Dark - tricks to try when your snake won't eat

Snake not eating? Try reducing the amount of stress on the animal by offering a good "hide box", an opaque box with a hole cut in one side for the snake to hide in. You can half fill the box with sphagnum moss or vermiculite. You can also throw a towel over the cage to keep out more light and movement, making the snake feel a lot safer.
