Why isn't Kaa eating?

My snake Kaa has had weird eating habits but here tanks temps, humidity and overall care has been perfect (according to general BP requirements)

She went through a shed cycle 2 weeks ago (A ONE PIECE SHED)!
An hour or so after her shed she ate which pleased me because the last time she ate before the shed was 3 weeks ago. Kaa is a regular 2 year old ball Python that is 2'.5" feet long. How often should I feed her because she isn't taking food weekly. When should I try again?

I think she ate right after her shed cycle because I didn't attempt to feed her when I noticed she was going to shed for 2 weeks and didn't bother her that whole time. How often should I feed her? Thanks!

What size feeder item are you offereing?

I am trying to feed her a white mouse, a little smaller than the biggest part of her body. This is smaller than before, she has ate bigger mice but I downsized because of recent troubles.

Keep trying you may even try P/K'ed and leave it over night for her.

What is P/K'ed?

sorry Prekilled.

Should I freeze the mouse and then thaw it?

No most people gas them in a made C02 chamber but if your not squeamish you can put it in a cloth sack and give it a whack. Most people prefer the Gas method but for just the odd mouse it much quicker and cheaper.

Okay, I don't have a CO2 chamber and I can't seem to find where they are sold pre-killed. I guess it will be going in an old sock. As far as pre-scenting the room, should I pre-scent it while the mouse is alive so Kaa can see it and hear it or should i pre-scent after I kill the mouse?

Sounds great.. Keep us in touch

I will try this evening...Seeing as the last time she at was 9pm 8 days ago.

KAA STILL HASN'T ATE! I tried to PRE-SCENT last night for about 35-40 minutes...She became alert but did not strike or show any interest in the Mouse. Considering she is 2 years old and 2.5 feet with good husbandtry, does she eat every week? The last time she ate was 10 days ago. When should I try next?

Good News!!! I put a P/K mouse in her cage last night and I woke up and it was gone! Good news, she ate! Bad news is she isn't eating weekly like she used to. This time she ate 10 after her last feeding, I am going to feed her in 9 days and work down a day every week until she is eating every week.

Try another p/k in a week.
