    Re: Opinions on how long to wait to be worried

    Any advice?
    I'd be careful about introducing a snake that early into your collection. What if she isn't eating because she is sick? You could have just compromised your entire rack by skipping a seperate QT.

    I'm also seeing you offered 6 different feeders, but you said you only offered once a week. So I'm assuming you tried multiple different feeders on similar days?

    I'd personally just leave her alone and stop fussing for a bit. Give her a chance to calm down. As it is, you have her in around new snakes, which is new smells, in a new environment, and you're tossing multiple different food types at her in a short period of time.

    Relax. Breathe. It's a Ball Python.

    Leave her be for a while. Let her get comfortable. I'd leave her for at least two weeks to settle without offereing food items, without disturbing her or fretting over her. She needs to feel secure in order to eat.
