my king snake isn't eating well at all.
okay i'll start from the beginning. when i got her and gave her the first feed... she attacked her food. what a GREAt eater.
she wiggles her tail cause she thinks she's a rattlesnake when she sees her food coming... i was thrilled about her eating habits.
so then last week i go to give her food and find a pinkie mouse in with her. i realized she hadn't eaten the one from the week before! i saw her go for it and thought she'd eaten it (frozen thawed). so i tossed it out and offered her another pink.
i had to do the dance with the pink... she was wiggling her tail and striking at the tongs but wouldn't take the pink so finally i put it along the side of her enclosure and left her alone... she ate it.
so this week... i went in... she was wiggling her tail again and in strike pose... so i set the pink down on the side of the enclosure near her and left her alone.
she didn't eat again.
so... i did the "adam thing to do" i filled her enclosure up with crumpled newspaper and i'll see if that helps her to settle down. she's always out and about... checking everything out all the time. so i wonder if she's stressed and that's why she's always out and about.
we'll see if this helps.
if anyone has any other suggestions... i'm here to listen
edited to add: link to her other thread... which shows pics of her
