I got a snake about a week ago that won't eat... The guy I got it from clearly didn't know what he was talking about when it comes to snakes and hr told me it sheds fine, eats small weaned rats every saturday, was a male. On and on. Well being curious I checked after I got the snake from him and came to the conclusion that it was a female. Mistake number one on his part. That same night the snake shed it's skin. No big deal, right? Wrong. She shed from the tail forward... Mistake number two... Number 3 has had me so frustrated that I just don't know what to do anymore... She won't eat. I started with a live small rat like he said, when that didn't work I tried prekilled. Still nothing. I tried a large adult mouse, nothing. Prekilled, still nothing... The only thing I haven't tried is force feeding and I really don't want to... I just don't feel comfortable with it but I don't know when she last ate and I'm really starting to worry... Please help. I don't want to lose her. She's one of my favories and of course the most expensive one i've got...
