    Sounds like my situation. I have a thread on here about my PetSmart rescue, but she is doing great now! Just be very consistent with the feedings, try and see if she/her will do assist feeding rather than force feeding. Try mouse pinks or even mouse fuzzies and see if she will take it down being Assist fed. Once they get the hang of it, i usually do an every 2 day feeding until they stop, then go to a 4 day schedule.

    I've had the most success doing this and can only hope that you can revive her to amazing health!

    thats the plan. I forced fed the first rat pinky and am not sure if its strong enough to eat a live fuzzy just but ill see tonight which will be close to 48 hours after the first went down. Once its eating live fuzzy on its own Ill probably sell it discriminately.

    This snake looks to be around 1 month old. Im not sure its ever eaten.

    I'd like to personally thank you for taking that baby. It's people like you that make me feel like there is some good in the world.

    Update

    She (Im fairly sure its a she, I checked) is doing well. She had here 3rd meal last night, a small hopper, and this was the first time she ate all on her own.

    This is an extremely sweet BP. the most gentile and mellow as ive seen. My gf picks her up, kisses her on the nose, pets her head, and If I didnt know better I'd say she enjoys it. I joke around that pretty soon she will know her name. Shes eating well, gaining weight, and is super friendly.

    I wanted to name her Trevor Reznik, after the machinist beause thats about how skinny she was but its just Mina for now.
