    If you are in a seasonal change that might explain it. Maybe your snake is coming into a shed.
    It hasn't been off food very long so I wouldn't worry too much.
    Keep offering food on a regular basis and he'll start eating again soon.
    3 weeks isn't a very long time for him to go without food.
    We usually panic when they do this but as long as he's acting normal and his weight isn't dropping of quickly I would just mark this time down and start tracking his eating habits.
    He'll probably do the same thing next year at this time.
    Best of luck.
    Keep us informed.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    I have posted recently that all of my snakes have shown little or no interest in food for the past few weeks. It has alternated between being very hot & humid to nice and cool (right now). I know that my big girl did this last year, so I am not completely surprised. It can be alarming, especially to a new snake owner. Just continue to offer food every few days. They will eat when they want to.
