NEED HELP- Feeding tipsIm

Hello Everyone, I am in need to some tips- here is the situation

My Ball python female seems uninterested in food, she is just over 700 grams and if i was told correctly hatched in 2014- i got her from a local exotic pet store in my area. the first 2 months i owned her she would not accept meals- Frozen thawed M rats- after the 2nd month i grew worried and eventually talked to the owner of the pet store and he said that if i left her in his care he would get her to eat. Apparently she had two M rats in the five days she was in his care. I have done my best to research tips and tricks along with eating habits and environmental (quirks?) basically what her environment has to be. She is housed in a 20g breeder tank with a wire top. I have had her back for 2 weeks now and she still wont accept a meal.

Need help how exactly...what do you want to know?

Tips on how i might go about getting her to eat

Pls describe habitat, temps, what you use to heat, what thermostats, temp gauges... Usually, non eating is related to habitat not being correct.

20g breeder, hide on hot end with heat pad underneath and water bowl on cool side with ceramic heat lamp above, i "try" to feed in a tub. eco earth substrate- low 90's on hot side mid 80s on cool side

Are you sure she ate 2 medium rats in his care for a duration of 5 days? This actually sounds odd considering she wasnt eating for you for 2 months prior... So, either he is full of it, or your husbandry isnt correct.

So, u only have 1 hide..and thats on hot end? How do you monitor temps and humidity...

i have a gauge that reads both heat and humility and another that just temp. yes only one hide at the moment.

1st..u shld have hides on both cool and hot end... All care sheets tell u this.

W your set up it sounds as if thr isnt a temp gradient possibly too... Cool side shld be cool..not hav a heat lamp over it.

I suggest highly you go read care sheet on this site and get your habitat in order.. That alone can cause eating issues..
