I think you are more looking at "assist" feeding her than "force feeding". Assist feeding entails a steady hand and CONFIDENCE. There are assist feeding instructions elsewhere on this site, so I won't even go into that. Suffice it to say you will want to make sure ALL of her environmental needs (heat, humidity, adequate hides, adequate caging) are met before you attempt to assist feed. Hunger strikes are "normal" with balls, and 6 months is not unheard of. From what I can tell you probably have a very young snake, did she eat AT ALL for the previous owner? Or do you have any way of honestly knowing that. I've had several balls "dumped" on me by people that couldn't get the snake to eat, and decided to recoup part of their investment before the snake died, so I don't necessarily believe people any more when they say "oh yeah, he ate last week"Originally Posted by lance
