Put her in a paper bag with a thawed rat for a couple of hours. Thawed her meals differently. Messed with humidity levels. Prayed to various deities. Sacrificed a goat...

She slowly started to eat again on her own schedule and started off on mice and is now back on rats with gusto. I chalk it up to the famous Ball Python hunger strikes and figure I wasted a lot of that time thinking it was something I was doing. In the future, I will offer once a week, monitors weights and just wait it out. =)

Hopefully someone will have some helpful advice, but if nothing else maybe I've mentioned something you haven't tried.

P.S. Just kidding about the goat....
Lol...maybe I should sacrifice a goat. I don't want to get too crazy with her. I have moved her to a different slot in the rack but that hasn't helped. Its not like I haven't had a BP go off feed before. She hasn't really lost any weight, maybe a little. Its just frustrating and it doesn't help when my wife thinks something is wrong every time she doesn't eat. Perhaps it was the change to a bigger tub. 28 to 41 is quite a difference. She does have the hides though. I guess I'll just be patient and offer a small rat each week. Darn BPs.
