I give up

Ramsey has always and seemingly WILL ALWAYS be my problem child....she shows EVERY sign she’s hungry but once presented with food she totally negates the fact that “hey food!” [emoji19][emoji52]

I don't want to alarm you but you might want to try feeding from the other end.

How often are you offering her food? I have a finicky carpet python. I've learned to just starve them out. :)

Time and temperature are what mine demand. I can't feed before around 6 PM or he just doesn't care. If it is not hot enough he just stares at it then looks at me as if to say "No, I demand my rats at 101 exactly, try again" and he now refuses to eat unless his head is out of the hide and he is ready to be fed.

I think I have raised a prima donna.

Has the Snake shed recently? If not, I would wait until it sheds again and offer after that. Luckily you have other snakes who will take the prey item so you're not wasting it though.

You'd think they'd get the message but they can be stubborn sometimes. If you know your husbandry is dialed in, the animal isn't sick, and she won't eat consistently every 10 days then dial it back to every 14-17 days. If that doesn't work then go to every 3-4 weeks. They'll eat when they get hungry enough. The hunger always wins.

Both my adults are on winter fasts. One hasn’t eaten in 9 weeks! I don’t know why I keep trying so much, I’m giving up too. I’m not offering again until 2018.
The juveniles are still pounding them down. Flame is getting HUGE! rapidly, almost adult-size already! almost unrecognizable compared to this summer.
