    Take two enclosure...

    I posted a thread a couple days ago ===> http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...-Desperate-UGH .... Now today I revamped everything! I got a smaller hide, and also switched to aspen bedding... The new warm side temp is 92... cool side 80 humidity was 75% of a min ago! Someone told me to switch her to a 6qt tub but that looked wayyy to small, so i'm keeping her in the 15qt for now! When should I try feeding again if I failed on Saturday? Should I give her a couple days? [IMG][/IMG]

    A couple of days will go a long way. When my little guy refused to eat I switched him to a smaller enclosure and waited a few days and he had no problems after that.

    That set-up looks great now, hopefully she will now eat!

    Attempting to feed every day after a refusal is asking for another refusal. You should wait at least a few days before offering again.

    A lot of times, snakes will get stressed out if you try to offer daily, refused or not. Also, if a snake is on a hunger strike, live is usually the last option a breeder uses (most have theirs of f/t)

    I recently adopted two bps. fed them life to make sure they would at least eat. oh...they ate. So, today, I tried f/t mice, had some leftovers, and they took them all. very happy about that. amazing how a smaller space will make things better for them.
