Feeding

Thank you both for your replies. I was told she was born one week prior to April 26, 2009. She still had some dead skin on her as she was going through her first shed.

Although I have not measured or weighed her I will say that she is about 15 or so inches long. I have the under tank heater attached to a dimmer switch.

As far as being off of food......never. She has always seemed to be very aggressive when eating. What I mean by aggressive is that she normally hits it pretty quick (within a few seconds) when I place the food in her tank.

The only other thing that I can think of is that after she took the food tonight I put the lid back on so I could sit down and enjoy the eating show......It was then she uncoiled and retreated a few moments after. The 10 gallon tank has a top mesh lid that locks in place. I wonder if the clicking noise scared her??????? When feeding her last week I immediately placed the lid on her and she did not miss a beat. The last time she ate was 6 days ago.

Her last shed (and first shed ever) was April 26 (prolly a few days before). She may be getting ready to shed but I did not look at her that close.

I will try and get some pics uploaded.

The clicking noise very well may have scared her and caused her to let go. I usually feed my snake in a separate container, watching but not interfering or moving, until its all the way down his throat before replacing him in his cage.
