    What is the temp of the hot spot?
    What is the ambient temp?
    What is the humidity?
    How do you measure these ^?
    What does the set up look like?
    How many hides?
    How do you heat the tank?
    Thermostat?
    What is the size of the snake?
    What is the size of the tub?
    What is the size of the hides?
    Is the setup in a high traffic area?
    What are you feeding?
    Is it live or FT?
    If FT how do you heat it?


    answers to those questions will give us a good place to start. There are lots of reason the BP might not be eating.

But now she have a month without eating and I try different sizes. I started to get stress and do a research and found that I should put her in a dark tub. I have her in a blue tub pretty dark with a hiding spot. what more info you need? Temp: 80*F I think heating pads in tub isn't a good idea, correct me if I'm wrong. I Think it will burn the snake...

    Why would the uth burn the snake?? Are you not regulating the heat pad?????

    Sometimes they just don't want to eat. I've had ball pythons get about 800gm and stop for weeks, even months, then start pounding them again.

    My tip: wait until it sheds again. Right after it sheds, like the evening of, attempt to feed it with a live or stunned.
