I've posted before about the problems I've had with my 3yr old female normal bp not eating - for the first two years I had her she ate like clock work but then she went off feed and stayed off for like 7 months.

At the 7 month point I panic'd and let my breeder/friend take her to see if he could get her to eat - he put her in a tub with aspen - she was originally used to an RBI cage with paper. He managed to get her to eat twice with live, once with prekilled.

I then brought her back home - but I first purchased an RBI rack with Aspen to keep her in - thinking that she liked that arrangement better. She's been home now for about 4 weeks and has not eaten for me - she just looks at the f/t rat but won't eat it. I leave the rat in her tub all night and still nothing.

I just don't get it - should I start to offer her live?? I hate to do that but will if that is the only way she will eat. I am afraid to feed live because I fear the rat will hurt her.

What would you guys do??

Just as an FYI - I have two other snakes in this same rack and they are eating just fine. Temps are 88/90 on the hot side, 80/82 cool side, humidity runs about 65%.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.
