Alright so I just got a female pastel back on 4/3/2010. She was 778g when I got her and she hasn't eating since. I've tried every trick in the book and gotten a few strikes out of her but thats it. It doesn't bother me when my snakes go off feed for some time but this girl was starting to look skinny so I decided to throw her on the scale. She dropped down to 682g in less than 2 months.

I've never had to assist feed but I talked to the breeder I got her from and he said every once in a while if a snake starts to drop weight he will put a mouse/rat in their mouth just to get them going again. I decided to try this tonite with a rat pup and boy she was not a happy camper! She kept it down and seems to be doing just fine but I've never experienced a snake dropping that much weight so quickly.

What do you guys think about this? Anyone been in the same boat?
