I hadn’t mentioned this, but it had been about 5 weeks since Luke (the boa) last ate. For the first three weeks, I didn’t worry. He had just shed, he’s a snake and it’s winter, etc. By week 5, I was getting concerned. Last Saturday, two days after finishing his cage, which upped the daytime temperature to ~80 degrees, he finally got interested in food. Now he’s prowling the cage, looking for another rat.
