    2010 Female, 500+ Grams hasnt eaten in 7 months.

    Welp, I'm about out of options. Out of my 25 ball pythons this gal is the only one I've ever had real feeding issues with. I've tried it all it seems. I've tried live, FT overnight, assist feeding, pretty much everything. I honestly think that she is anerexic, any ideas?

    How's she set up? Once in a long while, some snakes are more insecure than others, and prefer a hiding spot even when housed in a rack system.

    As others have asked, has there been significant weight change?
