    Feeding help Please! I think she's taunting me!!
    So my female '09 normal is not eating at all. I know, winter fast... But she ate for me after the first week I got her. Now, one month later, nothing. I'm trying to feed her right now, and I offered her a white weanling rat this time, as opposed to a black one. And she seemed real interested in it, poking her nose at it for a good 15 minutes, me holding it the whole time. Now, she's just not interested in it at all. So I'm leaving the rat in there by herself for 15 min to see if she takes to it.

    My temps are:
    UTH 90F
    cold side 75F
    Humidity 60%

    What am I doing wrong? She's also losing weight. Since I got her, she's lost 40g.

    well considering 40 grams could be a nice poop, i wouldn't worry about that too much. I would try and resist on attempting to feed for at least 5-7 days. Let her eat when she wants to, don't force the issue.

    Husbandry sounds good, but make sure you have the tightest fitting hides and a small enough enclosure so they don't feel dwarfed.

    That's the other thing, she hasn't pooped since she fed last, which was on October 7th.

    Your snake will poop when it is ready. My snakes poop like once every 4 weeks. They poop after they shed.

    I have an 09 woma ball that refuses to eat if I am in the room with them. It took me about a month to figure this out. It is funny though within a minute of leaving the room she eats. I just don't understand her it is not like she can even see me from her tub.
