    If your snake does not take a meal... wait a week, not a few hours.

    You have said she is head shy and hesitant to eat, and you have been switching food sources on her. Repeatedly introducing prey and offering at different time of day will only exacerbate that.

    I agree. Just place the animal in her cage and leave her be for a week, aside from checking on her to make sure temp and humidity are okay, the animal is doing alright and to change water. Its really no big deal if an animal misses a meal here and there. You already tried to feed while the animal was in a shed cycle. So, yeah, just hold off for a while or you both may end up getting upset.

    Pretty little girl there, BTW :)
