    Snake won't eat or drink
    I have a female cinny that I produced and this is the first time I have never had one not drink on their own I know people will be like o well u will hardly see them drink well I know for a fact she's not drinking cause if I don't give her water through a feeding syringe then she gets dehydrated and looks all dried out but she will also not eat on her own I've tried everything and I can useually get a baby to eat after awhile but this lil girl is driven me crazy has anyone had this problem?

    What's her setup?
    Weight?
    Temps?
    Humidity?
    Has she ever eaten on her own?

    Normally when a hatchling of mine is finicky like that I try a black out box with a hide. I just spray paint the outside of the box so it's pitch black.
    What have you been offering as food?

    Have you tried f/t and live of all 3 of those? Have you tried leaving the room so the snake is alone to eat?

    I'm not as worried about the feeding as I am about the drinking she's very easy to assist feed but she wont drink
