A little concerned..

[MontyAndMelissa]

Monty isn't eating when I offer prey. She skips one meal and eats at the next feeding time, so at this point she's eating once every four weeks or so. My concern is that she's getting sick. As you all know reptile vets are NOT cheap ($150 plus gas for just a check up, and only every other Wednesday at my clinic) should I take her to the vet? Or should I try other things first...

I am concerned, I'll take her to the vet if I need to, but I don't know what would have made her sick if she is. Temperatures and humidity are constant and proper, substrate is cleaned every other day, and replaced once every few months.. She was eating just fine, but stopped a couple months ago, when she started eating once a month (have offered a medium rat every two weeks in that time, she only takes 50% of the time?) I'm happy that she's eating, just being a worried snake momma.

Came in the room, apparently she's been out for almost two hours on the cool side of her tank (temp is 77 where she is).. I think I'm stressing over nothing, but this isn't normal for her.. is she hunting because she didn't eat yesterday? Should I buy a new mouse and try again tomorrow night? Tried it during the day yesterday.. She was interested, but not for long.
