I have a Mojave female that used to be my biggest piggy. She would be hungry 24/7 & was feeding only on f/t. She went off feed for the winter & refused everything I offered her for roughly 4months. I made the mistake & offered her live to get her back on feed. Well now she refuses anything but live. Now she has upped her drama, she will hunt, redecorate her tub for days before feeding time just acting like she is starving.. When I do feed her she refuses.. So now I have to keep the rat for 3 -4 days & offer it again then she takes it. I figured she needed to be fed every 12-14 days, tried that & still will refuse then 3-4 days later she will take it.

My wife has been very strict with me & the snakes and she said from day one "no rats in the house". So now she's telling me to get rid of the snake which I really don't want to do.


So, the question is how can I get her back on f/t?

I stopped feeding her for almost 2 months & only offered f/t & she would refuse everytime.

Any ideas or hints would be great so I don't have to part with her.

Thanks!
