    Awesome news!

    I held over the rat, and heated it up nice and warm in front of her hide until CHOMP!
    She had her first meal.
    I waited 10 days before the offering. and It worked. Also thanks to the users who helped me with convincing her to eat. She is curled up and swallowing her prey (a small frozen thawed rat I held in front of her hide entrance with tongs and wiggled it around). I'm giving her a 48 hour break, I'll try to feed her next week at the same time (Tuesday night) or when she's peeking out her head, ready to eat. Im waiting 7 days, just like you suggested.
    Again, she ate and I am proud of her.
    She likes small frozen thawed rats.

    Good job on getting your snake to eat! It's a great feeling when your snake eats, isn't it?

    Wow, I did not realize that Mangle had not eaten yet.

    Congrats!
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
