Mona's on a strike...
I'm not sure what's going on with Mona's feeding, as she hasn't eaten since August 11th. I had her in a 20gal tank at first, but switched her into a 41qt tub (not in a rack yet) over a month ago. She ate a couple of live rats in her tub, then I tried switching her to F/T... She refused for three weeks, so I gave her a live rat, which she ate happily. Since that time, however, she has been refusing both live and F/T, rats and mice. I do handle her frequently, and have done so since getting her - never seemed to be an issue. Here are her iHerp records for the last month, and I'd appreciate some input...
08/30 - Refused Food, Live mouse
08/30 - Weight, 1920g
08/25 - Refused Food, Live rat
08/18 - Refused Food, Live rat (killed but didn't eat)
08/11 - Feeding, Live rat <----- only waited a day, since I thought she just had a mishap with the last one.
08/10 - Refused Food, Live rat (killed but didn't eat)
08/10 - Defecated
08/06 - Weight, 2056g
08/05 - Feeding, Live rat
08/02 - Weight, 1903g
07/29 - Feeding, Live rat
07/26 - Defecated
07/25 - Shed
07/22 - Refused Food, F/T mouse (in shed)
07/16 - Refused Food, P/K rat (in shed)
Prior to 7/16 - Ate live rats regularly once a week
Any ideas what her problem might be?? 
P.S. On a good note, Delilah ate FOUR mice and Toby ate three... they got Mona's leftovers, aside from one that's still in her tub (checking on it every few minutes).
