    Should I Be Worried?
    My ball python, Onyx, is going on two months now. She skipped her last two feedings (was going through a really heavy, difficult shed that I ended up helping her with), though she seemed interested the second time (struck and dragged it into her hide but didn't eat it). Before she skipped those feedings, she was 102 grams. I checked her today and she was at 93 grams. Her overall body condition looks more or less the same, spine seems a bit more obvious, but I think that's me being paranoid. She's still acting normal, very active and seems happy. I last tried feeding her on Wednesday. Should I be worried about her? When should I try feeding her again?

    At that age/weight you should be offering every 4 to 5 days.
    What are you feeding her?

    Every 4-5 days? Ok, I'll change my feeding schedule. She's currently getting frozen thawed small mice. The breeder hadn't switched her from live to frozen thawed when I got her, so I'm giving her mice right now to try and get a good feeding response and then switch her to rats as soon as I can. She seems hungry today (in hunting mode from what I can tell), should I try offering something?

    Has she eaten f/t for you at all?
