    What is the temp and humidity. Not trying to be rude but a lot of people come on here saying their temps and humidity are right and it turns out they are very far off because they got advice from (normally) chain pet store employees that don't know a thing about these animals....

    I suggest offering a live hopper mouse in about 5 days, leave her alone for those 5 days. Give her a few live meals (you will need probably 4 hopper mice at a time for her size) and then attempt to switch to rats...f/t if you please.

    I also suggest feeding her in her tank if you aren't already, and also, try blacking out the sides and back of the tank. I use black Con-Tact paper from Home Depot for $6.

    Re: my baby albino ball python will not eat?
    well if she is truly 400G she wont eat because the prey is too small. If the husbandry is spot on then I would Offer her either a small rat or a large rat weanling. IE a rat between 40 and 50 Grams or about the size of largest section of your snake.

    I agree with the above! triple check temps! air temp and hot spot, and list them. do you own a temp gun or a decent thermometer with probe? hope you get her feeding!

    400 grams I would suggest Rat as well.. smalle or bit more of size weanlingl.. try to get her off mice as soon as posisble ... find out how she was previously being fed... I had to learn to leave my snakes completely alone for a week after i received them to let them settle in, which is SO hard to do lol.., my second batch ate a week after getting them in the mail... which is SO hard to do lol.. but it pays off :) good luck... also if she was in a different type enclosure before you got her she will need time to get used to that too.. when i decided i was going to be collecting more snakes i HAD to get a rack... Ive noticed MUCH improvement since then in both the look and attitude of all my snakes..and all are eating on the spot.. best of luck! :gj:
