    Trying to figure out why she won't eat. Its been almost 2 months now. Husbandry is perfect. She seems happy, I open her tub and she comes out to my hands to say hey. She has eaten great her whole life and all the other balls/boas eat fine. I have tried everything except a asf thus far and nothing. Any ideas????

    Did you change anything just before she went off feeding?

    A little early for that "1000g wall"
    Maybe try feeding every other week for a while, unless she goes back on feed.

    What size meal was she taking?

    Newspaper to newspaper?

    There are some tricks. Sent it, brain it, get it real warm, make it "dance", leave it over night, step down a size, try every other week, wait her out.

    Keep an eye on her weight. One of mine went 9 months without food.

    I feed live all the time except for my anaconda, she eats HUGE rats and I don't want them biting the heck out of her lol. But She has barely dropped any weight, so I am not TOO worried at the moment. I am just trying to see if anyone else has had this issue for no APPARENT reason and found a way to resolve it. And yes, all my snakes have been on news paper for a while now lol.
