    Re: How would you go about this feeding situation?

Im guessing she is either going off feed for the winter or shes shy and doesnt want to eat during the day. Husbandry is fine, all other snakes are on feed. Now my problem is, the next time I feed her I wanted to make sure it was at night, since thats when shes active and out of her hide. But I dont want to leave her unattended with a small live rat in her tub. What would you all do in this situation?
    Thanks
    I would stick with trying to feed f/t and leave it in her tub overnight. If that doesn't work though, patience is key. She's old enough to go off feeding for breeding season, its pretty common for that to happen, especially for a female. I would consider perhaps lowering you temps a bit, to get her to feed.

    Cheers!
