BP didn't eat today, now what?
So I keep a very organized log of my BP's feeding schedule (I have her on a 5 day feeding schedule since she is a rescue and is a little underweight) and she ate really well last time, but today I tried to feed her at about 10:30ish am and she didn't take it. Should I wait until night time to try again, try tomorrow or do you think she is ready to go up to every 7 days?
I've had her for about a month now, she is a rescue from a family who neglected her (A BABY, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!) simply because their pet shop told them to feed her once a month. She's about 58~ grams right now and I'm trying to get her up to about 68. Humidity is solid at 60%, hot temp is at 90 and cool is at 78. Ambiant room temp is roughly 70 (not the tank, the room itself).

If you don't have her setup like this https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...-hatchling-101 already do it NOW at 58 grams it is very important.
Do not offer every 5 days only every 7 until she is consistent.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate the help. I'll get her started on 7 days and fix her setup.

I would feed at night (at least if you’re feeding frozen/thawed) as they would tend to eat at night in the wild apparently
