I have a female BP that I purchased from a pet store, she was a trade in, the owners did not want her anymore. She is about 21/2-3 yrs old and I have owned her for a little over a month.

Talking with the pet store, they had not had her long enough to feed her, only a few days before I bought her. And they were not sure if she ate live of f/t.

I have tried both f/t and live and she is not interested at all. I have tried feeding her in the dark, presenting, I even put the live rat in her feeding container for about 30 minutes prior to putting her in, then put the rat on top of the container for about another 10 minutes. Put the rat in the container, and the snake runs from it.

I always feed outside of their house, since these are pets to me and I dont want them thinking that my hand is food. I am willing to try feeding her in her enclouser, but I woudl do it under silent protest!

Should I be worried? she does seem to be a little thinner that when I got her, but not a huge amount.

Any help is appreciated.
