Feeding tried everything

[lorenhavens01]

So I tried live, pre killed, f/t, spliting the head open, chicken broth, and every tip that I could find on the internet but she still doesn't take. She is losing weight. A month ago she weighted 500 g know she weights 420 g. Her hot side is between 90-95 cold side is between 77-82. Humility is between 50-65. Feeding her weaned rats. Should I try mice. When I did transfer to rats she took them like mice with no hesitation. But know she acts like she's going to take then backs off. I am lost. PLEASE HELP!

Have you tried tuna fish water? Take a can of tuna fish in water, drain the water into a bag, freeze the bag, then rub the tuna water ice cube on the pray before you offer it. You could also try braining the prey, but only if it's dead first. I've used a thumb tack.

I am no "authority" but here is what I see. Your hot side is too hot. It only needs to be 90. Deborah (one of the experts) will tell you to drop the hot side to 88 when trying to get babies to feed.

What size cage, what substrate, what other husbandry conditions (light, equipment, etc)? All this information will help people here help you.

It would not hurt to try mice again. I've had a few switch back and forth, usually only one or two mice and they take a rat again.

it's a 12 by 30 tank. All weight are taking after defecating. I offer once a week. Use coconut husk for substrate. Have a hide on both sides.

Is it a glass tank? Try covering three sides with construction paper and filling some of the void space with crumpled newspaper. Make sure lid is on securely. I know how stressful it is when your snake won't eat, hang in there. Let us know how a mouse goes?

hot side is between 90-95 cold side is between 77-82.

Are those the actual ground temps or are they ambient temps?

IMO, I would tweak my husbandry and give the snake a rest from the feeding attempts. Like for about 5 to 7 days.
