When you've got 10,000 people trying to do the same thing, why would you want to be number 10,001? ~ Mark Cuban "for the discerning collector"

Re: Help!!!!!!
Was she eating for the person you got her from before you got her?

Re: Help!!!!!!
(I'll move this to Husbandry forum in a second)
What kind of husbandry details could you share? What are the temps in the enclosure? What time are you trying the feeding and how long have you had her? Are live pinkies somethign you could try?

That is an absolute lie.
A ball python less than a year old should feed like a monster for it's entire first year .... if you have it set up correctly.
99.9% of the time when a hatchling won't eat, it's a husbandry issue.

BPnet Veteran
Re: Help!!!!!!
You say you've had her for only a month and have taken her to the vet "many times"? Well it could be a stress thing if she keeps getting dragged out and poked about by a vet just after arriving at her new home.
My BP didn't eat for the first week I had her but I left her completely alone apart from changing her water.
Just noticed - the temps are a little low for the warm end - try bumping up warm end to 92-94.

Please take the time to re-read the caresheet... if your temps are as low as you say...she is not eating b/c she is too cool. BP's will often go off feed if they are kept too cool.
