Desperate...UGH

[gopherhockey03]

Well today is the 30 day mark of not eating!!! I'm still not freaking out yet, I just want her to eat SOMETHING!!! Anyway I feel like I have her enclosure temps and humidity perfect hot side 93F cold side 78F ambient temps vary but never below 78F. Here is her cage with the F/T Hopper mouse I tried feeding her last night! I thawed it out with water dried it and warmed it up with the hair drier! I did the zombie dance and it just scared her so I left it in her hide with her. I even tried braining it!!! A new problem has arose... I can't find small enough live feeders... So i'm panicking a bit... Any advice would help!!! Here is my set up as of 5 mins ago...[IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]

That hide looks too big for her, maybe try getting a hide that she squeezes into to make her feel more secure, then try feeding her again.
How much does she weigh? and what are you feeding? and how are you warming up the prey?

Also in the images you have shown the enclosure looks really small but that might just be the pictures.

Also next to the water bowl the paper towels look yellow? has she urinated?

Smaller hide/s (is that tape? Get that out now)

Try live!

Well, for starters if that is tape on your hide you need to get it out ASAP! Tape should never be inside an enclosure. Also, how much do you handle her? How often do you attempt to feed? You should just leave her be, no handling except minimal for cleaning, for a week or two. Then try offering her an appropriate sized live rat pup, (that still has its eyes closed), put it in in the evening. And leave her be, in a room with no traffic, and lights out. Probably be gone in the morning. Also, 93 might be a bit warm. Try to get closer to 90. And ambient should be 80. Also tub looks odd size, can she get to a cool side? Also hide looks too big.

Get her a tighter hide.
And is that tape on the hide in there now? I highly reccommend against using tape in the enclosure.

Was she eating f/t before? Have you tried live?

[gopherhockey03]

She weighs 63 grams... The tape is not a problem AT ALL... I don't have access to live prey, all the live prey around here is too big for her... Ben Siegal reptiles said she took F/T before they shipped her out...the yellow on the paper towel is from the F/T mouse I put in last night... I haven't handled her in two weeks all I do is change water and paper towels... I know for sure my temps are perfect... I was thinking the hide was too big also.. Should I switch to aspen bedding? what size tub should I get for a 63 gram BP?

Paper towels are fine, i had my 73g ball in a large finarium and he ate like a champ, and tape could become a problem very easily, and yes a smaller hide is best.

The TAPE is a problem !!! It shouldn't be in there, if she finds away behind it you might come into a dead SNAKE !!

I agree with the others get her a smaller hide

Tape should NEVER ever be inside in an enclosure!!

I'd check your local craigslist for local rodent breeders, that's where I found my guy.
