I have never had ball python feeding issues. I always ask what snakes are eating when I purchase them and if they do not eat, offering something different or leaving them alone longer usually works for me, but I am starting to panic at this point. I have a vet appointment for this snake on the 20th but I am really thinking I cannot wait that long. The vet told me if there is any cancellations then they would call. It is the only exotic vet and it is 1hr away.

On the 24th of March I purchased a female leopard ball python. She looked to be in good health. They guy even gave me the feeding chart and he had been feeding her every 7 days on F/T hopper mice. She was born on February 27th. He claimed her to be his from his first clutch of the year.

I have not been able to get her to eat since. I know you people must get a lot of "my ball python is not eating" questions. I have 8 other ball pythons and have never had an issue. I have never bought one this young either but she looked really healthy when I bought her. She weighed 105g when I brought her home, stuck her in my snake rack with a hide and left her there for 5 days. I feed young snakes every 5 days. So I tried to feed her a F/T hopper mouse but she did not eat. I did not think anything of it and attempted to feed her again 3 days later. I have so far offered her F/T and live hoppers. ASFs F/T and live fuzzies up to hoppers. The only size of rats here are pups to mediums, so I cannot offer her one of those yet. But she is not eating at all. She is now 89g and has not eaten since 18th of March. She is active and I still have not held her yet. Can anyone please give me any advice? I am really worried about her and do not even know if she will make it till the 20th for a vet visit.
