Recaptured my king snake way back on he 14th, injured by the cat (for those of you who missed the thread). Had him in a 1 gallon to heal for a few days, where he regurgitated a mouse.

Put him in his new 20g on the 18th. Now he won't eat. But he drinks like a fish.

Any thoughts/worries?

was the mouse one you fed him? if not could be poisoning. slight possability that is. i have found that when snakes regurgitate a meal its really hard to get them to eat for one to three weeks. don't worry yet. water is hard to find when your on your own.

Was a mouse he got on his own, don't know if it was live or if it stole a cat kill. If it was poison, that's a pretty long-distance mouse, I can guarantee no mouse poison for at least a half a mile in any direction.

I wouldnt be too worried just keep a close eye on him for now and I usually dont worry until it gets to be closer to a month of no eating.
