My adult ball python doesnt eat
Hello, I got an adult ball python month ago, but she havent eaten a meal yet. I have tried everything online so far. I tried giving her frozen thawed rat, tried live mice, gave her warm bath, and cleaned the enviornment. What should I do? I thought about giving live hamsters from petco, bur I am not sure if that is a good idea. Can anyone give me some advise? Thank you.
temperature in the tank: 80
hotspot:94
humidity 60

No hampsters she may never eat anything else again. A month is not all that long a hunger strike no need to try odd food choices yet. Is there a hide in there?

Just keep offering food once a week or so until she eats, as long as she has good body condition I wouldn't worry about it. I usually offer all my adults rodents once a week, the smaller ones twice a week. If they don't eat in a minute or two I move on to the next snake. I find that it's actually better to have multiple snakes so that if one doesn't eat I can use the FT rodent on another snake without having to throw them all away, that's one of the reasons I got my dwarf reticulated python, she will eat anything and eats all my left over rodents!
