Yes, snakes have feeding strikes. Just make sure your husbandry is correct, and you'll be ok.

If it has only been a month she has still been processing some nutrients, so a shed is not too surprising.

don't sweat it, I personally know people who have had some BPs fast for over 8 months (and I know for sure their husbandry is ok, I've seen their enclosures)

They don't only shed for growth. Multiple factors can trigger a shed.

Try feeding again after the shed is over. There's a good chance your snake will eat again at that time.

when my snake wouldnt eat i didnt offer her anything for 2 weeks and i made sure the rat was the same color and the same size as the ones she ate prior to her refusal and it worked. If you have your bp in a big tank try putting it in a smaller one in a quiet room without a lot of activity everything will be alright this happens all the time

Ball Pythons do this my juvie normal just got over a 3 month hunger strike keep offering as normal I would wait until the shed is complete then your snake should be nice and hungry
