    New adopted baby BP will not not eat, help.

    So my brothers friends wife works at petsmart. She knows I keep snakes and called and said that there was a BP free of charge at petsmart that day. I said ok and went to pick it up. When I first saw it, it had some pretty bad stuck shed, and looked a little skinny. She said that the former owner said it had mites but treated it and that they're gone now (she was right, there are no mites on the snake).

    I took the little girl home and gave her a warm bath to help with the stuck shed. I put her on moist paper towels and she shedded it all off. I waited a day and then tried feeding her, and she wasn't interested. Waited a day, tried feeding again, not interested. Shes now in a little critter keeper plastic enclsosure with a hide and cypress mulch. She's pretty skinny and apparently hasn't eaten in 4 weeks.

    All I would like is some suggestions on ways to make her eat. Thanks.
