Getting Nervous.....

Hey guys my 300 gram girl has refused to eat for almost a month now, and im getting a little worried its been too long without her eating. help anyone?!?!?!?

Live or F/T? We need a complete break down of your set up, temps, husbandry, etc.

Live. temps are mid 70s, she has 2 hides, her water dish, nothing has changed

The entire cage is in the 70's? No hot spot?

The first major issue here are your temps. You need a temperature gradient that allows for a cool side of around 78-80 at the lowest, and a hot side of 88-92. Your temps are WAY too low right now, which could definitely have something to do with why she is refusing to eat. At that temperature, she would have a very difficult time digesting.

Check out this care sheet for proper temps and humidity info, along with many other helpful tips. It even gives several reasons a snake would refuse food. :)

You do have a 88-90 degree warm spot, right? What are you measuring your temps with? Is this a glass tank, PVC cage, tub, or a rack set up?

What are you using for heat?

yes i have a uth for my hot spot, i have her in a tub with a digital thermometer

LOL nothing like everyone pig piling on the guy... Give him a chance to respond at least, maybe he meant ambient temps

Check the time stamps...we were all replying at the same time, or very close to it.

Has your ball been losing weight? Some balls can go a year without eating. Many just stop eating in the winter though. My 300g lesser male just broke his 3-4 month fast and he's still healthy.

What is your hotspot temp?
