[jwilliams1329]

im new to this forum so please bear with me. i couldnt figure out how to post a question so this is how im doin it. My sister gave me her 16month ball python about a month ago, shes soo sweet. but i cant get her to eat. my sis says she ate for her about once or twice every 10 days. We stopped handling her for about 5 days and she STILL wont eat she just lays in the corner on her cool side and hides, Is she stressed from leaving her previous cage? im starting to get worried PLEASE HELP SOMEONE

If you haven't already, check out the caresheet on this site. There is a whole why won't my snake eat section that might be able to help

If you got the snake not long ago it is probably stressed. Just give it some time and refrain from handling until it starts eating consistently.
