New Bumblebee not eating
It's been 2 weeks since I got my Bee at the Fire show (100 grams). I have her in a 10 gallon tank in QT, that I used to start off all of my other ball pythons. The rest are in rack. Husbandry is correct, but she hasn't eaten. Offered both live ASF pup and rat pup. She has been staying in the hide, after the initial time cruising. She has been out at night, but in hide during the day. Seems real timid compared to my others. Haven't been handling her. I even put crumbled paper to make tank seem more secure. A friend wants to let me use a juvenile rack for her. Should I wait a while and keep offering, or try changing to smaller space? Never had this happen with a small one before.
Thanks

Give her time. Do you have the sides of the tank covered? Might try that. Make sure you she isn't in a high traffic area. In my experience, anything with the spider gene loves to eat.

Re: New Bumblebee not eating
Yep sides and back of the tank are covered with styrofoam. I think I'll just wait another week and offer again, then if that doesn't work, try the tub like Aaron suggested.
