Question About Eating Habits...

So I have had my snake 2 weeks now and she has had mites (recently treated) and shedding issues with me... Now she won't eat and I am assuming it is because of the mites and too much handling on my part. When should I try and feed her again? One week?

I don't try more often than once a week if I have a non feeder.

This. I bet she's just overstressed. Don't handle her at all! not even for pictures. Offer her food in a week and not any sooner. Good luck! Hopefully she'll eat for you once she settles down.

Another thing to consider is trying live mice to get her started. I know you want to feed F/T but if she was feeding live from the breeder, she may need that to help her jump start. Also, make sure you're heating up the mouse completely.

I am so excited! I turned off the light on her for abut an hour and now she is eating!

i got my answer thank you so much:snake:
