New RTB Stopped Eating

[Bogertophis]

Shedding happens when it happens...no schedule, & nothing to waste time worrying about.

IT WORKED!!! So I tried feeding her a little bit bigger of a mouse last night, "small mouse" from Petsmart actually. She wouldn't take it as usual, so I decided to just leave it in there overnight. Came out this morning and she was all wrapped up in her hot hide with a nice fat belly.

Thank you for the suggestion!

Isn't that the best feeling ever!!! Nothing better than to get a reluctant feeder eating again.
Congrats. Now you can breathe a bit. I've been there - I know how you feel.

It all comes down to learning YOUR snake's personality...you can never assume that all boas or all BPs or whatever kind will respond the same way.
We think we're teaching them but pretty much they're teaching US to pay attention- to what THEY need.

I can't agree more...after doing tons of research and reading before I got her, I had expectations of how she should act/feed/poop/etc. This just hasn't been accurate so far, and I can tell she's very happy doing things her way.

All snakes are so different and there isn’t a rule book that could be followed letter by letter as they sure like to throw a spanner in the works now and then .
It takes time to get to know your individual snake .
Won’t be long till you think to your self what the hell was I doing all that worrying about
