    Alright, calm down.

    What is the husbandry of this animal (describe its temperatures, humidity, substrate, cage size, types of hides, etc.). I see you have two ball pythons, are they together?

    How old is she? She may be more sensitive to a large environment and you may need to downsize her cage. Are her hides small and tight hides with one opening?

    How old is she? It is common for breedable sized females to go off feed this time of year

    Try leaving the non-live prey (F/T or PK) in her hide, then turn the lights off and leave her alone over night. My girl suddenly became a shy eater about a month ago and now refuses to eat outside of her hide.
