Sweet Lesser Platinum Female that Won't Eat (for Me) - Make Me an Offer!

[wendhend]

This nice-looking lesser female hatched out of my normal X lesser clutch this summer on August 13th and has still not taken a meal for me at over two months of age. I have given her a couple of forced / assist feeds in the past month, so she does still look healthy. She has no kinks or deformities and seems to be just as active as all her siblings that do eat. I have tried housing her in both a small cage and a small rack drawer with the warm spot around 90 degrees and secure hides. I have tried both live hopper mice and fuzzy rats left overnight with her, as well as prekilled rodents on tongs. She is just not showing any interest for me. I have a feeling that if she was rehomed with someone who has more experience with picky hatchlings, she might do just fine.

Anyway, I am hoping to rehome her with someone experienced with fussy feeder hatchlings this coming week. Please PM me your offers. Best offer by this Monday (10/17/11) by noon Pacific time takes her. Recipient pays shipping, which is a flat rate of $40. Payment within 24 hours and by PayPal is preferred. I am a certified FedEx reptile shipper and ship within the continental USA only. PM me your offers please!

I want to thank you all for the offers I am getting on this girl. Just to clarify, I DO guarantee live delivery on her, as well as outwardly healthy appearance, same snake pictured and definitely female. I just can't guarantee that she will eat well for someone else, being that she won't eat for me. I am an experienced corn snake breeder but still a relative newbie when it comes to ball python breeding, so it won't surprise me a bit if she ends up with someone more experienced with getting python hatchlings started on food and does just fine. I am closing the offer this Monday at noon (Pacific time) in hopes of being able to ship her out tomorrow (or soon after) for next day arrival to someone else who will hopefully have better luck with getting her to eat.

Okay, I shipped the little lesser off to Pennsylvania today in hopes that a new start somewhere else will help her to thrive. Thanks JasonG for taking a chance on my baby! And thank you everyone else for all the offers and well wishes I got on this girl!
