Uhm, ok so my ball python has been acting really weird simce we last tried to feed her? She will only sit on one side of her tank and hasn't used a hide since we tried to feed her. (which was around thursday or friday? Sorry my memory isn't the best sometimes)

We had been trying to feed her live for the first time, as that's what she had prior to us buying her and she has no interest in frozen thaw sadly, but instead of striking she just ran and let it bite her. Luckily it didn't bite hard enough to make her bleed or anything but I am really worried over this whole thing as sweet tea is quite important to me. I know she ate a week before we got her which was around early april so I'm sure she'll be fine for not eating for a bit (though I would prefer she Did eat but hey sometimes snakes just ain't hungry) but I'm worried that maybe she is sick or something?

We had ended up housing the rat til today so I'm thinking maybe it's scent from the side of the room is what is making her do this? But I wanted to check with more knowledgeable people just incase it's something bad. Though she is still active and friendly as ever so I don't think she is sick.

Sorry if this is a bit incomprehensible I'm not particularly good with words, especially when panickinhg over a pet and typing on a phone.
