    Re: My BP has stopped eating for no reason. Please help!

    Force feeding should not be necessary for a snake that has shown that it can eat just fine on its own. I would only worry if she has started to loose considerable (more than 100-200g) amounts of weight. It might be worth your while to get s kitchen scale and weight the snake once every two weeks. Also, a scale also helps with feeding. I feed around 10-15% of the snakes body weight until the snake is about 800g and then I just feed small rats.

    Your temps worry me a little bit though. You shouldn't really have a night drop. The range of your temps leads me to believe you aren't using a digital thermometer with a probe. I would definitely invest in a digital thermometer and hygrometer. The home depot, lowes, and walmart sells the accurite weather station which measures indoor temp, outdoor temp, and indoor humidity.
