    Bp Not eating

    Ive had my bp for a month. She took her first few meals, even switching back and forth from mice to rats. I was handling her a day after her meal, she got spooked and defecated on me. She has refused meals since that day. She has missed two feeding days. Other than that husbandry is on point. Temps, hides and humidity are all correct. Any ideas on how to get her to eat?

    It's not a rule but most people wait a couple of days after feeding to handle their snakes. I have been pooped on more than once. They get out and move around and get thoughs muscles loose and next thing you know. I would wait a week and then try again. She should be on a 5 to 7 day feeding schedule.
