she is in a 10 gallon basking spot 87 cool side 75. I have never tried live, and I doubt I ever will. She has never shown interest in unscented, and she originally got started on tuna, but now will not eat it. What I do is thaw the mouse, soak in tuna for an hour or so, when she smells it and starts searching, I dangle it from the tongs in front of her. All that she has done is hiss and run. I have tried scented in the paper bag, and I have left the mouse in the cage. She doesn't look like she has lost much weight. I am not sure of her age, but she is probably a yearling born last colubrid season. I got her three months ago, and she has only taken 4 meals with me. What should be my next action? Is it time to assist?
