Meet Lilly

She seams to enjoy exploring and moves to thermal regulate.i keep her humidity high 90 to 99%. Tuesday is feeding day. She is ready for larger than a pinky mouse. Such a beautiful girl.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3e79f168a5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6cce820fc5.jpg

Today is feeding day. Magnetic ledge installed and loaded with prekilled. She has taken prekilled twice before. She doesn't like being handed food. Hope she enjoys the ledge better.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ebf567ed3d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a63344d334.jpg

Meal 4 down and now under feeding ledge. Happy snake. Tried to work on handling some Saturday with a bite and run mentality. Going to be very patient with her. Did not stop her from eating today though. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e3f950a245.jpg

Absolutely gorgeous female gtp! I was thinking it was the humidity percentage or a impending shed cycle with her first food refusal. However you mentioned you keep the humidity between 90- 99%. So much for that. Good luck as she grows and your plans evolve.

Welcome Lily! What a cutie :)
If you run into difficulties feeding I'd recommend reaching out to the breeder and replicating whatever techniques they used to feed her. I have four GTPs and they all have different preferences come feeding time lol.
One is constantly going on and off feed (she was WC). If she sees me that's pretty much all she needs to go on yet another hunger strike :mad:
One politely comes down from his perch and takes it immediately and accurately from tongs
The other two will eat if I simply leave it anywhere in the cage.
I use the shallow plastic dishes I think are meant more for feeding lizards [ https://www.snakemuseum.com/1933-thi...-exo-terra.jpg ]. I like that they are easily removable for washing. You might try placing the mouse on the ground level before using a platform; in general green tree pythons hunt from the trees and will likely feel more secure hunting when they have the height advantage. I warm my prey to 100F drop it in the cage and peace out. I also feed just after the sun goes down (usually the time they are most active). Most GTPs are pretty easy/consistent eaters so *fingers crossed* you won't have any issues :)
