...and, young snakes are usually hard wired to eat as much as possible. At that stage in their lives, they aren't worried about finding a mate, it's all about eating and getting larger. It's Mother Nature's way of moving them up the food totem pole as quickly as possible.

There are quite a few tricks for makeing F/T more attractive to your BP. Make sure the surface temp of the rat is around 95-98 degrees, and hit it with a hot hair dryer just prior to offering...gets the smell of the fur flying around, so to speak. Also, there's the old Zombie Dance method, and playing tug-o-war after the strike is always fun for both snake and owner...and seems to strenghten the feeding drive.

My advise would be to keep offering on a 5-7 day schedule. Of course, if it turns out that she only eats every two weeks, it's still better than her not eating at all.
