    Husbandry is well, but another snake is on an eating strike!

    I can understand my male going on an eating strike, and even Margot having to have privacy in order to eat. But my girl patya, is simply not interested in mice. Even when they are bloodied up. I try to entice her with some dirty rat bedding, but it hasn't worked. Should I be concerned with her weight? I haven't bought my new scale yet, but she looks healthy, just see some spine.

    I just went through this with Ginger. She fasted for 5 months, and it stressed me out big time. I began feeding her live mice and now rats - she gobbles them down pronto! I was really reluctant to go live with her, but she obviously prefers it.

    Btw beautiful snake!!!!!

    Would it be easy to convert her back to frozen? I also haven't tried frozen rats.

    I tried to get her back on f/t and she won't do it. I don't mind her eating live, so it doesn't matter to us. We want her to be happy and with a full belly
