Well I picked up a hatchling female spider ball python a couple weeks ago for what I thought was a good deal until I realized she's not much of an eater.

I have her in a 12 qt shoebox rack with flexwatt heat tape. Hot spot is about 88degrees and the ambient is about 82-84. I've left live newborn pinky rats and live rat pups(not at the same time) in her cage overnight a few different times and she has no interest in them. She has two hides, water bowl. I've tried paper towel, aspen, and carefresh for bedding. She is very active and has no visible health issues. The only time i have handled her is to put her in the cage when I got her and today when I weighed her...only 68 grams! She doesn't look sickly thin but she is getting there. Am I getting to the point that its time to assist feed or how long do I keep trying for her to eat herself? She is pictured below. Any other tips are greatly appreciated.
