Update on Caramel

today is caramel's last antibiotic shot and i plan on waiting till sunday to introduce food again... is that long enough?.... her weight and body shape still look decent but she hasnt eaten for nearly 3 weeks...
also i have read that scenting a mouse with a lizard or frog may entice finicky eaters.... i do have a whites tree frog thats been my buddy for 9 years :P that wouldnt mind helping out as long as it doesnt involve hurting him... if caramel refuses eating again should i try the scenting trick? if so, how do i go about doing so?
here is my first post: http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=31436

Maybe in other snake species, but not with ball pythons.

If you've got her set up properly, with the right temperatures and humidity levels, and leave her alone (no handling), in time, she'll eat. The treatment she's receiving for RI is a source of stress right now, and once that is over, all other things being right, her appetite will return. Good luck...
