    Yeah, I was actually expecting that refusal... but it was feeding day for everyone else, so I figured it was worth a shot. We'll see what she thinks next Monday, I guess.

    You've only had her 30 days so if you do decide to pair her after that short of a quarantine I would definately remove the waterbowl while they are together.

    I understand why you shortened it but it merits a little more caution with direct animal to animal contact I think.
    Thanks for the tip... do you remove the water bowl to reduce bacteria? I'll hold off longer if necessary, since I certainly don't want to risk the health of either snake. Everyone seems fine, though!

    Do you know what she was eating for the previous owners? Maybe they had a different feeding routine.

    You might try an F/T small rat left in her tub overnight. Can't hurt.
    Her previous owner was feeding live rats, which is what I've been offering. I doubt she would take F/T, but you never know!
