Thank you for all the advice. I feel much better knowing you all have similar problems. I did take Caesar to the vet and he found a mild infection. So he's being treated for that. The vet suggested trying a mouse again next week after the medicine has had time to work. The infection, he thinks, was caused by the bedding. I keep him on Lizard Litter and spot clean every day and do a complete change every month or so, but I guess it always soaks up a little pee and poop and that's what did it. I'm going to keep him on reptile carpet now and change it every time he poops. I don't know if it was the infection or the season that did it, but I guess if he eats next week I'll have my answer. Thanks again, guys!

I'm having the same problem with my 5-month old Lampropeltis getula nigrita (Black Mexican Kingsnake). She hasn't eaten in 2.5 weeks. I have been offering a frozen pinkie every 3 days since the last time she ate. Good to know that someone else is having the same sort of "problem", and a solution...wait it out.
