Hello,
I made a thread last week about my ball python who is refusing to eat. She was hatched 8/16/17 and was shipped to me on 10/3/17. Upon arrival I had a tub ready to go with high temps at 89-92 and low temps around 78, with an ambient temp around 80-82 and a humidity 50-70%, depending on how full the water dish is. I tried feeding her 3 days after getting her with no success, and then waited 7 days to try again with no success. I took to this forum and with your suggestions tried adding more clutter to make her feel more secure. I didn't check on her often these past 7 days but when I did she seemed to be in her hides during the day and coming out to explore at night, flicking her tongue often. I just tried feeding her again with no success and I'm starting to get worried. I plan on leaving the mouse in the tub overnight to see if she will eat it, but otherwise I'm looking for any ideas or suggestions on how to feed.

With the feeding tonight I thawed the hopper mouse out completely for 10-15 minutes, and then heated it up for a minute or so directed at her tub to get the smell to possibly get her interested. I also did take a razor blade and "brained" the mouse to see if that would peak her interest. Upon opening the tub she was moving about and flicking her tongue, and after I dangled the moues an inch or so in front of her she did strike but missed. Afterwards I tried dangling it more and she was not interested, instead moving about the tub and exploring towards the top where I had it open. I placed the mouse in the tub and am now gonna wait overnight. A minute or two after leaving it in there she did go over to it and look down and kind of sniff it but then continued to explore the edges of her tub.
