 Not Eating

My baby red tail boa has gone off feed for about 2 weeks now. I got him a little more than a month ago and he ate for me about 3-4 times but has stopped now. What can possibly be up?

It’s probably nothing,2 weeks is not long at all for a snake.Just offer it food once a week,if you try to feed it all the time it will do more harm than good,it will stress it out.May i ask what you are feeding it?

Could it be starting to shed?Some snakes will not eat while in shed.

More times than not, a boa that refuses a meal is trying to tell you something "its not hungry" i.e. being offered food too frequently.
