I would switch the substrate to Aspen.
Than I would leave her alone for a week (NO handling) and offer food (live) same prey type that was previously fed.
And of course the prolapse need to be addressed
Big Gunns couldn't have said it better himself. Although Big Gunns would NEVER use a "flowerpot" as a hide.Try and feed it a live Fuzzie....definitely not a pinky.
Do this right away. You might not want to wait a week to try and feed it since it's such a small snake that seems to be losing weight. The small tub and Aspen trick can work in one day, although it would be best to wait at least a couple.
