Deb wrote these questions of another member who had a snake who would not eat. I also have just one snake who is refusing food and it is a drag. She's my little 8Ball hypo and all my other 8Balls and NERD's and TSK's are chomping every 7 days! Slamming big style!! Anyway, I thought I would post Deb's questions and answer them and maybe someone can give me their thoughts...

How long have you had your snake for? We got the shipment on Feb 26.

How old is he? She was born July 17, 2007

How big is he(weight)? When we got her she weighed 176g. On March 1 she weighed 180g. Tonight she weighs 182g.

What type of enclosure do you use? She is in a RBI rack system

How big is your enclosure? 32 qt

Is your enclosure in a low traffic area? Yes

What are your temps (cool & warm side)? 92 hot end with a gradient to 84 cool end.

What is your humidity? 54%

What type of thermometer/hygrometer do you use (dial,stick,or digital)? Acurite and temp gun

What kind of hides do you provide (log, homemade, cubbyholes etc) and how many do you have? She has a hide from RBI (my snakes prefer them to Zilla!)

Are your hides tight (all side touching your BP's body) and identical? Yes

Have you handle your BP since you have had him? NO- just maintenance.

I also pre-scent the room and offer food only once a week. She has refused 2 times now, once on Feb 28 and again on March 6. She is also my only snake to date who has not gone into blue and shed (I have 13 balls and one boa).
So, what do we think? Anything to worry over, or just give her time??
Thanks everyone!
