Help!!!!

Couldn't figure out how to create a new thread so I'll ask here. My young female ball python won't eat. She's not brumating or anything. Last time she ate was in January. She's usually a f/t feeder but I've even resorted to trying live. Both times with the live rats she ate and 2 days later regurged. I've tried feeding in a tote like we usually do, in the bathtub which we have also had success with, in her tank, in the daylight, in dark. What should I do? She looks awful. Her backbone is VERY prominent.

First off, you want to click on the "new post" at the top of the screen in the area you would like to post in.
Second, I moved your post to your own so you don't have to deal with all the stink in the thread you posted.

On to your snake........
What are your husbandry issues?
There is no reason to move your snake to a separate container for feeding either.
If your snake gurged, you want to wait a couple weeks before trying to feed again.

I have so many things to post but first we need to know what your temps and humidity and all that good stuff is.
The more information we get the more ideas we can give.

^^^ This. Ambient temps, hot spot temp, humidity. Maybe a pic of your setup.

If all of your husbandry perimeters are within spec you can start the usual list of alternatives to stimulate feeding. Live mice of various colors are the usual first step. You can then turn to african soft fur rats, gerbils and even hamsters and chics. Bps are known for hunger strikes. Worst case scenario you can visit an exotic vet who can feed the snake by gavage to provide nutrients. Just be patient. Ive seen Bps go 1.5 years without food. Definitely not good for that, but they will survive. Provide plenty of water.
