Re: My little headache...
How long have you had this animal and what are you attempting to feed it?

Re: My little headache...
Have you tried live mice? I didn't see what you were keeping her in either.. Just curious. Rack or tank?

She's in a rack, I have offered Mice, Rats and ASF all three. She's eaten a few rats, and most recently a lone ASF. She's on Repti-Chip in a rack like all the rest of my snakes. I've changed her substrate, her hide, her water bowl, I've moved her to a larger tub, and a smaller tub. She gets offered food once a week and eats when she wants to in all appearances.
If I find something that works other than "random chance" I'll stick to it, but all of her successful offerings so far have had nothing in common. ^_^

Re: My little headache...
Wow.. You really have tried it all. I read an article from Justin Kolbylka a while back and he was advocating moving the snakes around in the racks that were problem feeders. I had one snake that was strictly on mice and I moved him around in the rack random times over a few weeks. Sure as hell that snake took a rat like 3 weeks later and has been on them ever since.. I was kinda surprised. But hey.. It worked. Sounds like you have done this already though by switching her around in different tubs, substrate etc.. I'm not trying to throw salt at an open wound here but I have NEVER had a snake refuse a live mouse.. That has always been my fall back.. hahahaha

I’m presuming you feed in the evenings, dim lighting , wait until it’s safe and secure under a hide then dangle the warm offering in front of the hide ??
The hairdryer trick is a given and I won’t mention it here ;)
