My Butter Champagne female don't want to eat!!!

[RafyWiz]

This particular snake isn't eating well I need help... I have 3 other ball pythons and they eat well... But the Butter Champagne since day one I pass hours trying to feed him...

We need particulars. How long have you had the snake? What's the set up like? Temps? How often do you try to feed? Have you tried different sizes/types of feed? Do you feed live or FT?

I feed my snakes every week but this is the only snake of 4 that eat the day after in the morning... She eats live rats and mouse I prefer rats, I think that the snake is very specific in the strike... and waits and waits to get that perfect moment and that moment with a small rat that is a moving target is difficult... But I do that changing size but really this is a 600g female she should eat medium or small rats.

Some snakes prefer different foods.
I have a 1700 gram GHI that will only take mice. She will not touch a rat. So dont be fooled into thinking that just because she is big enough to eat a rat that she will, if she will not, try something else. Large mice or ASF's eventualy wou will find something she will eat
Also if she is not happy with her enclosure she may not eat or over stressed, too hot or too cold. There are many reasons a snake will not eat, you just need to find out why. is it enviormental or does she prefer a different prey? is she stressed?

What is she housed in?

I like when people put the type of morph it is as in that's gonna help lol

Also, try different color rats or mice. I had a bp that was on an all brown/black mouse diet for a while. As weird as it sounds, it's a thing. I know there will be some critics, but truth be told this worked.

The previous owner sell it because she don't want to eat weekly. I move her from the tub that the owners give me because I think that was her problem and move it to a tank with heating pad hiding spot and a tree branch I see her pretty normal attitude. But now she have a month without eating and I try different sizes. I started to get stress and do a research and found that I should put her in a dark tub. I have her in a blue tub pretty dark with a hiding spot. what more info you need? Temp: 80*F I think heating pads in tub isn't a good idea, correct me if I'm wrong. I Think it will burn the snake...
