So, my ball lucy, had a substantial belly burn from her previous owners. the fools put the UNDER tank heater INSIDE the tank with the snake. so, as you can imagine she incurred pretty bad burns. I took her to the vet and he gave me a round of inject-able antibiotics and some burn cream. It all went away for the most part after her next shed, and now all thats left is a fraction of the dead skin that was there before. I was going to take her back to the vet for a follow up, but he charges 40 bucks. no bueno. so my main problem ( now that you have her background) is that i can not get her to eat! ive tried live, fresh killed, F/T and nothing. she seems more afraid of the mouse then interested in it. its been almost 2 months since shes eaten, and im getting worried. im wondering if it could be that shes just stressed from me poking and prodding her and washing her and what not. so, any ideas? ill give you her set up at the end.


20 gal long tank
1 100 watt heat bulb
zoo med heating pad ( havent been using because of belly burn)
temp on hot side about 90
temp on cold side 75 to 80
