I purchased a baby female BP on 6/19/11 from my local reptile shop. I was TOLD that their ball pythons were already established and eating pretty well, so I didn't think I would have too many issues getting her to eat for me. Well, I've had her over a month and a half now and she STILL hasn't eaten
I am running out of things to try. I've tried both frozen and live. I've tried offering both rats and mice. I've tried braining. I've tried leaving the F/T mouse in her tub overnight. I just don't know what to do anymore, and she's really starting to worry me. I know snakes can go a while without eating, but she was only 45 grams to start with and she now looks a bit skinnier to me.
I have not been handling her at all this whole time and I've only been occasionally lifting the tub lid to check on her and change her water, etc. As far as husbandry, I'm keeping her exactly the same as my adult male and he never misses a meal. Please help!![]()
