So I have a baby that I hatched in late August. I gave her a while to start eating on her own, offering a hopper mouse every other week. She never started eating on her own though. I assist fed her a few times as well, starting about two months after she hatched, but not more than every other week. I continued to offer her hoppers, but she never took one. Then about 4 days ago I assist fed her a pinky rat again. I just stuck the head in her mouth and she ate it on her own. Today when I checked on her she was dead. I have never had a snake die, so this is new to me. However, I expected it since she lost strength to move the lower half of her body recently. Was she just too weak to digest the mouse, or could the assist feeding itself have killed her?
